Is imagination just a childish game
And is outside the box really lame
If there's no skin can love still exist
Is trusting the unseen a foolish risk
They say such fantasy can not real
Those aren't feelings that you feel
Your heart really didn't skip a beat
Words alone can't create this heat
Well I'm not buying it
I don't have to see
To trust the invisible
What it can be
You can't define
A lover's heart
What I'm feeling
And where it starts
Your words are magic
They captivate me
Hocus pocus
Your soul I see
They say dreams are lies, let them go
If she's not present how can you know
Sacred mysteries surely can't be true
No physical presence.. no me and you
Well I'm not buying it
I don't have to see
To trust the invisible
What it can be
You can't define
A lover's heart
What I'm feeling
And where it starts
Your words are magic
They captivate me
Hocus pocus
Your soul I see
I'm in love, I've never seen your face
But what I've felt can't be erased..
I'm buying you
I don't have to see
To trust the invisible
What it can be
Girl, I feel it
A lover's heart
From the inside out
Is where it starts
Your words are magic
They captivate me
Hocus pocus
Your soul I see
*They say falling in love is wrong but it sure feels right

Poet: LyricMan

Raindrops
are like my thoughts
falling down into my mind
sending goose bumps down
my spine
Their cool aftermath
cleanses me of my thoughts
of fear and uncertainty
about what tomorrows
pain may bring
They make me feel,
wet with creativity
drenched in my optimistic
illumination. glistening
raindrops, my thoughts
leave paths of pleasurable
distress, and hope of success
which road, less traveled
may be the best
Forget an umbrella
when these raindrops
arrive, I walk outside
arms open wide
Ready to Receive
whatever
the mind storm may bring
because raindrops are
as my thoughts, falling
down into my mind
sending shivers down
my spine
My brain, yearns
for the rain, to wash away
the pain, tomorrows worry
does bring
One special drop
could speed up life's clock
to the time
I can handle my own
and not dwell inside my controllers
home
For raindrops are,
like my thoughts
falling down into my mind
sending goose bumps
down my spine

We go through each and every day
With family, friends and foes but,
For loves' sweet sake
We all endure
The chaos, tears and woes
And so you think
For loves' sweet sake
To wrestle with the dark?
Well - you will find that you've become
The bait - and food for sharks
The things you'll do
For loves' sweet sake
Can tear your heart apart
And cause distress where none should be
Who now will mend your heart?
Now this you say to your lost love
"How could you hurt me so"?
For loves' sweet sake
I gave up all
But would not let you go
For loves' sweet sake
You'll change your life
And try to start anew
With hope, with love with charity
You'll face what comes to you
So now, my friend, consider this
And all you've sacrificed
For loves' sweet sake
You gave your all
Hey - was it worth the price?
Let's ask the One who gave up all
To enter into Strife
For loves' sweet sake
He endured the Cross
He gave up His own life
He helped us know how much we're loved
He showed us how to be
This all was done for us -
And more
For Loves' sweet sake you see

Growing up
My father and me
He did the best he could
Because once we were three
Events happened
And then we were two
His rise and demise
As his life withdrew
Looking back, to the memories we had
They never lasted for years
Some great, some sad
For an ill man he did his best
And in me, I have his zest
He never recovered from the loss of his son
To say goodbye to the elder one
He was hospitalised for months and years
On the day he was taken, uncontrollable tears
The years we shared
Fifteen in all
In every one
He helped me grow tall
To appreciate, what life will give
Remember your past, let your future live
He's all around me every day
For on the wind I hear him say
Enjoy your life, live happily
I hope you get to the land of the free
My reply to you Dad
As you look down on me
The Aura around you
The man I hope to be
" Happy Fathers Day to you Dad, I still miss you, your loving son James "

She once walked with him and stopped with him
when they heard that familiar refrain.
She'd stand beside him while he'd salute
her pride for her Soldier was plain,
and every night,
while he'd hold her tight
contented and happy, she'd sigh.
They would drift off to sleep
listening to the beat
of the Soldiers Lullaby.
They play the National Anthem
to fill us with fire and pride
and the last one they play every evening
is the Soldiers Lullaby.
Twice a day at nine eleven
when her Soldier was in Iraq
she'd bow her head in silence
to remember that September attack,
and when she'd get home in the evening
tired and lonely, she'd cry.
She'd pray that somewhere he was listening
to the Soldiers Lullaby.
Now she stands at the gate in the airport
heart pounding as Soldiers stream by,
so excited she can barely contain it
overwhelmed she's starting to cry,
and the crowd is beginning to thin now
the tears and the laughter all die,
heart broken and lonely, she stands there
when she hears his voice simply say "hi"...
It's been years since she's thought of that moment,
they've been busy with life passing by.
Two girls and two boys
now fill their lives with joy
and time really does seem to fly,
but at night when she's tucked in her family
she still bows her head with a sigh
and she never forgets to remember
The Soldiers Lullaby.
~For Jenn with love

Radiant hymn's of morning sun
of Godly words O' how I run
to and fro
I traipse in search
in love I rest
still my spirit yearns
I will sing of the Lord's great love
forever...
forever..
forever...
I hear the call upon the hill
in shallow breath my heart lie still
O' trial O' fear
I march ahead
I call my king
on Zion's perch
I will sing of the Lord's great love
forever...
forever..
forever...
To proclaim everlasting the prize
onward and bestowed to rise
O' anointed one
I march ahead
in love I rest
each day of toil
I will sing of the Lord's great love
I will sing
forever..
forever...
forever...
O' how I bear in my heart
in completion just to be a part
with sinful flesh
my spirit cries
I call my King
to shun desire
I will sing of the Lord's great truth
I shall sing forever
forever...
forever...
forever...
Amen......

As I place the pen
on paper
my soul beings
to bleed
upon the pages
my secret longings
hopes and dreams
of which I hope to be,
how I want to reflect me
transpire into the universe
within my poetic lyricism
the warm sweet smoke
of my vega blunt
swirls about me, flickers
in and out of motion
as the vanilla candle nearby
fights the shadows in my room
the cool summer breeze
from my window
carries dancing sinsemilla
fog around me, allowing
my mind
to adventure elsewhere
into the nights abyss
of minutes, turned to hours
I write
pages, of words
scribbling my life, struggles
and fears
Bob Marley and Lauryn Hills
“turn your lights down low”
beat inspirational peacefulness
on my eardrums
my small hands delicately pluck
my imaginary guitar strings
as I join her in a solo, Miss Hill's
magical voice cracks
with emotion, and my soul
tingles with excitement
For creativity flows
within my veins
I breath real music, such as
she, as soon as daylight opens
thine dark brown eyes to see
The poetic flowetry, carries me
and speaks to me
the notes capture my inner
disturbance and desires
until the soundtrack of my day
takes me into Summers night
thoughts of my dreams
of being a published poet
clearly float
into my sight
Then, I sit
as I place my pen
upon the paper
black and white turn to one
and my soul bleeds
onto pages
into an early sun

A burst of white light
gamma rays, overbearing
a flash of brilliance
burns through to my soul
everything is like hell
the world starts to melt
in the blink of an eye
just the cold blackness
of night
I don't care if I am not again
what I once was, for at this moment
I am greater now
than ever before
I took the path between
teetering, tight roping walking
right up to my right
divined in my unholy state
I thought I told you
I am your king
still you sit there, hesitating
I know you hate me
what does that mean?
I hate just about everything
still I'm chosen
I did not wish before
now bow down to me
refuse me no more
for I shall always be your demon
until you accept me as your King.
I don't even know you
though you say we used to be
best of friends, you and me
the day you ditched me
I remember now
exactly how it played out
back when we were just tiny things
even back then I still was King
you thought me stupid
just a ruse
I would laugh inside, you see?
not one of you single, mean people
ever even knew me
in a world, mostly seen to me
that is why only I can be your true King
and bring forth a new source
of light everlasting.
As two worlds collide slowly aligned
one wrapped in shadows
one bathed in white
evils swirling in the clouds above
I'll always be the king you love
to hate or despise as in your blood
I thought I told you, I am the one
I am the way, the way out shall be shown
breathe in my spirit as it carries you away
breathe in my faith it shall carry your empty space
and deposit you gently on a cloud just enough
higher than you've ever dreamed of
for I am king now, and your in my hell
your in my imagination, I'll just never tell
you'll feel as though dreaming, you'll feel now
if you try and see
you were always found the most
shared in the light cast upon me
the last bright star in heaven.
Denounce my name, if you may
One year later, still not afraid
A black sheep, a darkened spade
That's just life, I'm not right
I'm in the wrong, follow along
Like a piper, I'll pitch a song
Mesmerized, the weak wills sing
I thought he told you, he's still our king.

Ignite,
The missing light,
Forget,
What's behind.
Just believe,
That love comes again...
'Cause,
The skies,
Are like a hard glide,
In a shining rainbow's light...
All dreams and fantasies,
Can be reality,
'Cause fantasy,
Is based on reality...
But all histories aren't the same...
'Cause,
Sometimes, we dive,
In our lives...
So,
Don't judge,
For what you see,
Judge,
For what it is...,
'Cause time passes,
But, memories remain...
And,
Listen,
To your heart,
'Cause,
The body, does,
The mind, thinks,
And, the heart, feels...,
While, the soul, lives...
So,
Always remember,
To remember the past,
To live the present,
And to wait and pursue the future...
Listen to your heart,
Before you are telling goodbye,
'Cause destiny,
Might lead to demise...,
But, remember that destiny can be changed...
Life is unpredictable,
But space and time,
Could be controlled...
And even if some die,
We may survive...
Remember,
That life,
Might have an endless beginning...
All that remains,
Is to be reborn...

You've woken a memory, a searing desire,
Ensnared my senses, set my whole world on fire.
You still make me nervous, turn my insides to stone,
My bastion breached, my resistance overthrown.
A decade reverse we were in a different world,
But a kiss from you and my toes would curl,
I can not say what happened back then,
Except how happy I am that you're back again.
After all these years, after everything's changed,
I think to way back and I still feel the same,
Like we could conquer any mountain, ride any wave,
Just lift a finger and I'll be your slave.
Something good has begun and you're going on a jaunt,
I'll have to put on my brave face, hide that I'm gaunt.
While you're away, time can only pass slow,
So do me a favour, kiss me hard before you go.

So much I wanted to say. So much I wanted to shout.
It was like being trapped behind bars without a way
to get out.
My mind going wild with all these questions of why.
The only way to escape was to fall asleep or to cry.
What did I do so bad that made me have to pay?
My friends, my dreams, and my life was swepped away.
I know I can do it! I try and I try.
Nothing seems to get better. I sometimes wish
I would Die.
Starved for attention. I wanna talk to the world.
I just miss being loved. Miss the warmth of a girl.
Snickers and stairs is what my life has become.
I'm treated like I'm a kid, like I'm sick, or I'm dumb.
One day to the next. Life becomes work just to be alive.
I thank god for my blessings. I thank god I survived.
I finally see some improvement. More hope tickles
my brain.
It was worth all the time, all the tears, all the pain.
I awake with a smile and new hope to move on.
I did it! I did it! All those hard times are gone!

(Verse 1)
There’s an aching in my back
An my knees are buckling in
My body’s hurt n bruised
friends r’ say ‘n take a step back ‘n relax
(Bridge)
got so much on my mind
faster and faster I here myself say
I cant give up when I’m half way through
pure determination drives me hard and true
(Hook)
Never giving up
I can see it now the sun is shine ‘n on me
Never giving up
I’m almost there the inspiration I need
(Verse 2
The devil can try to slow me down
Putting all those boundaries road blocks round
But without a flinch in my face
I’ll jump up move and around
(Bridge)
My destiny is calling to me
Got lots to accomplish no time to tire
There’s a sunrise coming up in my face
My dreams are right there I’m following through
(Hook x 2)
Never giving up
been a long time but the sun is shine ‘n on me
Never giving up
I never looked back now I see inspiration in front of me

I want to be inspired to write
a song people really want to sing;
I want to be inspired to compose
a requiem for the King;
But, I’m just an ordinary man
doing the best I can
at writing poems
that have no homes.
I want to be inspired to find
a cure for this cancer thing;
I want to be inspired to reach
out for the golden ring;
But, I’m just an ordinary man
doing the best I can
at getting by
with the good old college try.
I want to be inspired to lead
a revolutionary coup;
I want to be inspired to be
the best at everything I do;
But, I’m just an ordinary man
doing the best I can
to make ends meet
and not live on the street.
I have the motivation;
I’ll put in the perspiration;
I can give it concentration;
But, I lack the inspiration;
Inspire me.
What will it take to inspire me?
I want to be inspired to write
a song people really want to sing;
I want to be inspired to compose
a requiem for the King;
But, I’m just an ordinary man
doing the best I can
at writing poems
that have no homes.

I've been a lot of places in this land,
From sea to shining sea.
There's a place in the hills of Arkansas
That means more than them all to me,
A little wildwood church where people meet
To praise the Lord above.
They don't have a lot of money,
But they're rich in a thing called love
You'll see a friendly smile upon each face
The moment you walk in.
They'll make you feel so loved and right at home,
That you'll want to go back again.
They will pour you out a cup of kindness
And hospitality;
Then they'll take you home and feed you,
And they'll treat you like family.
You're always more than welcome;
There's no lock upon the door.
There's preaching and singing and praising the Lord,
And they know what the altar's for.
Don't look for a grand cathedral,
Standing proud and tall;
It’s a humble little church, beside the road,
At Ben Hur Arkansas.

A song of a sparrow in the springtime.
Birds chirp a lullaby at the peak of the morning sun.
Speedy is the dragonfly, wish I could catch just one.
Clovers fill the meadow and daisies are in bloom.
Brilliant as the rainbow heanen's scent perfumes.
I hear a sparrow singing sweet tunes of joy and glee.
Sing a song sweet sparrow, sing a song for me.
As springtime goldenrods glow.
I see a sweet sparrow perched upon a rose.
Elegant are the carnations,
and honeybees buzz me by,
God's mighty creations of tender springtime.
I hear a sparrow singing a joyful melody.
Sing a song sweet sparrow, whistle in the breeze.
Lilacs spread their fragrance.
Daffodils line the creek.
In the wind the lilies dance,
and crickets chirp at my feet.
I hear a sparrow singing such a sweet tune.
Sing a song sweet sparrow, lift the morning dew.
Sing a song the prince of love and let the music flow.
Drowning in sweet melodies I open my window.
Perched upon the cedar tree a mighty little bird.
Singing tunes of springtime for all to be heard.

When you have downfall on your mind chaos is all a mind can find, its time to change all the things you had held so deep inside, they cause rage, your trapped in while your caught up in the cage of life an easy life with out strife, no more pain or struggle inside a bubble and you want to make it burst, but first things first you know the times that come will be the worst, because its change you want, and you will taunt the ones who set the curse. They say if you want to change a little then its your choice, but if you want to change a lot they must first hear your voice, loud enough for all to hear, listen and all of the problems soon disappear, just know that the world can be a bleak one and people dont always listen so you cannot only speak once, so when the end is near you can look back at the goodtimes throughout all the years think about all the times and cheer, and thank god you lived this long and your still here. Be remembered only for the words you spoke, for you do not want to be invisioned inside a cloud of smoke, watch as they listen when you start to feel the choke on the thoughts about your life,a bad life, a black life, envoloped in fear you were hoping that the man would hear, and maybe take a listen, to diamonds in your mind as you watch them glisten. finally move to a position, and open your ears and let your mind be clear, and hear the wisdom spoken from the person on the otherside of the mirror, society sobriety with out a clue just sit and ponder at the deepest thoughts that are revealed in you...

Tonight as my baby girl started to pray
She said God it's 8 O'Clock,
And God We need to talk.
She said daddy help me pray,
And daddy bow your head,
As we knelt beside her bed.
she said God can you hear me?
Mommy always said you'd hear me,
If I would learn to pray,
And that you would show me the way.
Well God I don't understand.
Why you took my mommy away.
Daddy always says i'll understand,
When I grow up some day.
She said God, you need your son.
Well I need my mommy to,
And I know that my daddy,
Would be happier with mommy.
Cause daddy talks to her,
And mommy's not even there.
God can you please,
Give my mommy wings,
So she can come to see us.
She always kept our house clean,
And God I know,
She keeps your house clean to.
And God I miss mommy's big hugs,
Daddy says your son gives hugs to.
So I know if my mommy had wings,
She could hug me and daddy.
Well God I want to thank you,
For being there to listen,
And God think about what I said.
And tell mommy that I love her,
And God I love you to.
Oh just one more thing God,
Help my daddy stop crying.
Thank you God, Amen,
Then she turned to me and said,
Goodnight daddy, I love you.
I was still on my knees,
Beside my little girls bed,
With tears running from my eyes.
I gave my baby a goodnight kiss,
And said sweet dreams baby girl.
Then I went to my room,
And kissed my wife's picture,
And with tears in my eyes,
I knelt down to pray,
I said God, We need to talk.

If I had over 10,000 dreams
You'd be the only thing my mind could see
Judgment couldn't be real
Succumbing to the fear of this cold life
Find a way to break through
The self-destruction of wordly delusions
Don't tell me I've lived so long in a lovely illusion
Break me down until we find a Nirvanic state
Then bring me a savior from transgressions
An atoning sacrifice
Send down to me a messenger for me to submit to
Bring me the truth to break through The delusion
Bring me the messenger to explain it all
And let me leave behind
Sorrow's caressing the earth
The caliphate stole my heart
Without a will to fight
But I have the Means to be free
I'll try to go with the word I believe
But so many stones to be thrown
Stakes to burn, limbs to break
Faces to hate, scorns to taste
Will I have the will to die
Despite all of the tears no one will cry
Sorrow's caressing the earth
The caliphate stole my heart
Broke my will
Safetefied my soul
Martyr for the Unorthodox word
Sorrow's caressing the earth
The caliphate stole my heart
Without a will to fight
But I have the Means to be free
I'll try to go with the word I believe
But so many stones to be thrown
Stakes to burn, limbs to break
Faces to hate, scorns to taste
Will I have the will to die
Despite all of the tears no one will cry
Sorrow's caressing the earth
The caliphate stole my heart
Broke my will
Safetefied my soul
Martyr for the Unorthodox word

When lyric is not a groovy drama
the minds’ leads ail,
and strain stepped-settle over paths
strive by darkness or hells
oh heart so gone
At dawn, by the shines sun
In any target’s time ...
infeasible the crowds seeking
able being peace for dewy
from sorrow, oh vipers in over motion,
At sudden appeared by the paths
— and upper deeply notions feel ill
by idle jealous being-while at cycles
of happier birds flies ...
Or fauna gauges wind around.
When lyric is not a drama
the minds are trail empty,
crowds at emotive offs
ahead draft and tour recklessly
begrime, and idlers bull dogs
standing up —of course
Overly in brittle then! –so, men
Thou roar grin cans, at joy and safe.

Our Love was a young Love
That was said would never last
From 'Nam through Bush
We've stood the test of time
It may not be that hot, steamy,
lustful Love we once shared
But it's a steady compassionate,
respectful, reverence we share
We're still crazy about each other
It's oh' so plain to see
By the way we bicker and fight
all too frequently
Shall we say, We've both gotten
the better part of each others' lives
Thank Heaven for Miracles
we've made it thus far
It still gives me a thrill to see
that sparkle in his eye
From across a crowded room
He'll attempt to turn me on
I just hope he never loses
that love and desire
that he has for me
We're devoted to each other
It was our destiny

A simply fallen angel.
Who ventured to far from home.
She's been captured, bound, and stolen now.
Encased in precious stones.
She wept, slept and kept herself.
Away from worldly wrongs.
In a place of simple loneliness.
A place of simple song.
And Our simply fallen angel.
Who just won't believe.
I'm a lost ghostwell gathering.
Or treasure tossed out to sea.
Fallen to a pirate band.
Then recorded to CD.
As a simple song of simple hopes.
Of shining stars thought telescopes.
As hidden light behind the notes.
The music hides from man.
But as light flies from gem to gem.
You'll hear her holy singing voice.
And see her holy sin.
But she has found beauty in this life yet.
As she heard a song and could not forget.
That man she met on Sixth Avenue.
Who forgot the world and sung the truth.
And on the spawning dawn of judgment day.
You'll hear them in the wind.
With their simple song of loneliness.
And their simple song of sin.

(Inspired by the genius of Ms. Norey Bailey. Please check her out )
Soulful sista
Strolling in her full spirited stride
Just couldn't hide
From my heart's searching eye's
that I swore I
wouldn't allow to be blinded by this mindless modern day luv no more
Until that particular half second
I wanted to run-------grab her by the hands!!!!!!
AND......
take her down to see the Reverend
I didn't have any spare time that was to be wasted
Wanted to recycle my trashy reputatation
Strip
Down My image Un-til- it was raw
So that.....
It could be steamed and not fried
BLESSED
Not viciously devoured
Hope that I'm a genourous helping
That'll nurture your body and soul
and in no way be unhealthy
One who'd always fill you up, never leave you empty
Be your top and bottom money maker and not once will you ever have to pimp me
Easy to open
Hard to tear apart
I play a game thats not a game & i trump any Player's card
I'm what the mighty-dollar can't buy
And I'm the same thing that stores just don't sale

Back in the mind of times
See it for what I find
Twirl the world
While it spins I can twirl the world
I'm bringing back the old days
Seeing these brutal type ways
Twirl the world
While it spins I can twirl the world
I can see my future
Standing alive
Walking amongst deadly ways
And yet I still thrive
My message is very clear
From beginning to end
Enemies and foes amongst me
Yet who is my friend
God told me not to worry
In time I will tell
All that you need to know
To do things well
The key is very simple
Nothing in life comes for free
Determination is what I find
In this mystery
I have got my head in the clouds
So time will not pass me by
Wondering what I need
But if I would only try
Where I am going from here
Nobody really knows
I guess I will try to keep it simple
In my next tomorrow
Back in the mind of times
See it for what I find
Twirl the world
While it spins I can twirl the world
I am bringing back the old days
Seeing these brutal type ways
Twirl the world
While it spins I can twirl the world
I am standing in the midst of a sea clear, bright, and blue
I am looking for somebody
But I do not know who
I need answers to solve daily problems
So I go to the man
Who keeps the world revolving
If I am in Him
And He is in me
A crucial door just opened
So now I can see
I am on the outside and still looking in
Praying for answers daily in this battle I win
The war will be over soon
But I will still enjoy time of peace
Knowing it starts within me
To keep my mind at ease
So go on and put the globe down
On my finger let it spin
And that is the very message
That I have to send
So that everyone will know
Who is in control
As the story unfolds
In the hand God holds
Back in the mind of times
See it for what I find
Twirl the world
While it spins I can twirl the world
I am bringing back the old days
Seeing these brutal type ways
Twirl the world
While it spins I can twirl the world
I can twirl the world
While it spins I can twirl the world

ask for they turn their back, stick their nose up at you as if you were a stranger off
the street.
It hurts the most when kids are having kids.

MOTHER, and COMPANION.
It hurts the most when men don`t respect women for what they are WORTH.
It hurts the most when you put your all,then to watch it just slip away right in your
face and you can`t do absoutely anything about it.
It hurts the most when you see people who are addicts.

You have to fly
to keep your wings,
You have to look
to see better things;
You must have faith
otherwise, you'll fall,
and before you can run
you first, must crawl;
How can you have hope
if you don't believe?
If you don't even try
You'll never achieve;
If you wan't to know
you'll just have to learn,
You can not touch fire
and expect no burn;
You must wake up
before you can dream,
and it can look like gold
but that thing won't gleam;
You have to be honest
if you want the truth,
to see into the future
Take a look at the Youth;
If you want it to be Love
it must touch the Heart,
Love never has to end
if you know where to start;
Don't ever feel alone
We all get hurt,
Every beautiful flower
Must Rise up from the Dirt.

i know your weaknesses.
I know your doubts.
I know when you're feeling down.
And your pessimistic thoughts.
I have crippled your thought process.
I have made you sulk.
I even broke you down,
Worrying about your insecurities.
I have kept misery within your grasp.
Knowing you're searching for true happiness.
I've kept you away from the unknown.
And all the unexperienced.
I've even kept you away from love.
Knowing you won't know how to handle it.
Why deal with something you can't control.
When you can't step up to the challenges.
You've tried to get rid of me.
Yeah, I know you fought back.
But I've kept striking.
once your defenses were down.
Eating your confidence and well-being.
I know one day you will find the courage,
To put me out of my misery,
But when you have those feelings.
Of nervousness, tightness, and heat flashes,
I'll be there.
You know my name.

Oh how sweet and beautiful are the words
that you say to me, they stick to my soul
like honey to a bee. They move me,
they soothe me, they let me live, for
it is you that I need and my heart
I will give.
You touched me like I never have
felt before, you start my heart breathing
so fast until I can hardly let go.
I feel your words like sand on a beach
they are still in my head and will never
decease. Your words are so brand
new and alive, for they are the only
thing that is helping me to survive.
You touched my heart like no other I have
known, the way in which you love me
I wil never do you no harm. Your words
is like an ocean running free, all I want
them to do is pour all over me.
You touched my heart like a child playing
with a toy, he love it so much because
it brings him so much joy. That is how
you touch my heart, giving and bringing
me so much joy, it makes me feel like
a child with his new toy.
You touched my heart every day of my
life, that is why I do not care about all
the sacrifice. I wil do everything to make
you happy just as long as I know I am
the apple of your eye and that you will
do or say nothing to make me
cry.
You touched my heart from this day
forward, there can never be another
you because you are what I need and
it is me for you and you for me that
is the only way it is going to be.
you touched my heart.

generic minds listen to generic music
have generic thoughts that are unknowingly abusive
watch generic things talk about generic things
gee this generic *****is spreading like a disease
better get your flu shot
thats what they said to me
a suicidal vaccine
a subliminal killing spree
its contagious and the outrageous
thing about it is that the people are blind in an eye
that they didn't even know they had
it's sickening to watch these clueless civilians
inside the looking glass
with nightmares of being free
without a key to their mind
for it is trapped in the frequency
in the illusion of time
bathed in our universe
killing all that refuse to see
those that admit to hypocracy
or see the message in hip hop
how cant you see
the message in the lyrics that
bring adolescents to their knees
from bullet wounds conflicting their flesh
contradicting that they're the best
but the songs keep telling them that they dont need no rest
that they dont wanna go home
that they should ride alone
with the gat as their only companion
and so the only path they choose is the one that they're told
until they grow old and hope turns to a window pane
inside a window pane, until all they feel is pain
they realize that the music itself is ashamed
so whats to look up to
when you cant even speak when you cant even walk because you look so bleak
your eyes are sunken from the tv you're infested with the dee zees
now its too late to turn around and live for your conscious
so when youre screaming oh please
close your eyes and bring your mind to life
open your eyes for the first time
and never wonder why
since the answer this entire time
has been inside
and you better find it before you die
you dont want your soul to be in a pool with all the others
a buncha brothers missing their mothers
but only seeing strangers
only feeling the haters
wishing they would have used their minds when they had them
and now its too late,
now it's time for another new born fate to grab them

Verse 1
I’ve had this dream now for a while,
But the real world’s where I choose to stay,
The time is now for standing up,
To reach out for that brighter day.
Chorus
Unite to lend a hand to those who are in need,
Unite against them, whose souls are consumed by greed,
Unite and lend a hand, and we can change the world,
We’re the ones we’ve been waiting for.
Verse 2
Walking past two souls holding hands,
I see that it’s true love conquers all,
A dreamland where we all sing and dance,
And hands to catch us should we fall.
(Chorus)
Bridge
United, it’s in our hands,
United, it’s how we stand,
United, across all lands.
Empathy, we understand,
Together, it’s how we stand,
Unite with one voice, One Hand.

Your face,
Made a fake smile, (you said)
I love you,
I need you,
I want you just for a while,
You told me,
That I made you smile,
All the things you said to me,
Are just words now,
How can we love,
When you love me for yourself,
(This Aint Love)
Chorus: 2x
What are we doin,
If this love ain't real,
What is this feeling,
That I feel,
I'm broken in emotion,
I'm broken in love, (you said)
I need you,
I want you
You're the only one,
I'm thinkin of, (so tell me)
How can we love,
When there's always someone else,
(This Aint Love)
Chorus 2x
Bridge:
How can we love,
When there's always someone else,
How can we make up,
When you only love me for yourself,
verse #3:
You got me imprisoned,
Inside your heart,
When kissed
I felt, Like we,
Would never be apart,
chorus 2x

Let the Deicide commence.
You're a voyeur at best!
Your vampiric heart is beating out of your chest!
And you have slayed the ones whom would love you for anything less
Ready to consume the final fragments of innocence,
And for you there is no forgiveness,
On your knees pleading, screaming to a tyrant in the skies;
The father of lies.
I will never be enslaved in your superiority
The people agree: jaded of your false dichotomies.
Know: I will be whomever nature intends to be
Apollo and I will share our dreams,
and you will be forced to see
your failure!
I know who you are...
Readily the first to present your scars
Chained by some despot or mental czar
An emotional homunculus in your mind, behind bars
Reluctant to escape - even when proven fake
Your demented mind - depths no one will penetrate!
...And you see me suffering
Not caring of any casualties
Just as long you recieve your safeguard of sympathy
So very wary of the masses and their Anarchy; Liberious ways
Solipsist - Is there no one you can see?
Even if she was presented burning?
Solipsist - Is there no one you can believe?
Even if Sophia was screaming?
Solipsist - Know you have killed and abused me
Imprisoned in your own personal reality

< she's a hard headed woman
lovin a soft hearted man
when they get together
they join hand and hand
for loves be glory
in this fairy tales story
for she's a hard headed women
lovin a soft hearted man

for she's a hard headed woman
lovin a soft hearted man
a hard headed woman
lovin that soft harded man
My Next
Country Western Song LOL

I was just trying to remember the past
trying to remember the good people
and the bad people,
that i came across on my way,
i want you to know
that you are among the good people
that left a good trace in my life,
once again i just want to say thank you
for passing through my life,
is so short but is wonderful
i want you here forever.

Such an Amazing girl god put into my life.
He knew i needed you at that exact time
Funny when we met I thought you were to good for me
But when you approached me the sweetest girl I did meet.
From that day on we have never truly been apart cause I
carry you around everywhere in my heart. You have been the
rock when I needed a friend around, you have been the light
when the darkness consumed me and took away my sunshine
Even when were miles apart the phone connects us and keeps
our strongest bond. 17 years feels like such a short time but
I feel I have always had you in my life. Soul Sisters we were
meant to be.. You my beloved friend are such a fresh breeze
Even after a year apart it was like yesterday that we did part
so through the many miles and through the long hard road
I know this friendship will always survive. Your a burst of joy
to me each day I thank the Lord for the sweet blessing he gave!

As cold as ice
Wrapped round your brain
And darkness unfolds
You’re breathing in pain
It’s been freezing here
In this Land of Shattered Dreams
It’s been freezing here
This corrupted winter stings
It’s been freezing here
(Où est la Lavande?)
Your body can’t stay warm
(Où est la Lavande?)
It’s been freezing here
(Où est la Lavande?)
This cruel and criminal storm
(Où est la Lavande?)
But don’t give up
Don’t despair
Taste the hope
Floating through the air
When the lavender returns
It’ll warm your frozen bones
Vivid violet clothes
In their candy overtones
When the lavender returns
It’ll race across the land
Rebel flower grows
In the palm of your free hand
If you look out your window
The ground’s parched and bare
If you call for your lover
She’s no longer there
If you ponder your life
Well, it feels like a wreck
And your failures are scars
You can never forget
As leaves turn brown
Sky fades to grey
You’re feeling the drought
The end of the day
It’s been lonely here
In this World of Fallen Souls
It’s been lonely here
With nowhere left to go
But don’t give up
Don’t despair
Taste the hope
Floating through the air
When the lavender returns
It’ll warm your frozen bones
Vivid violet clothes
In their candy overtones
When the lavender returns
(Où est la Lavande?)
It’ll race across the land
(Où est la Lavande?)
Rebel flower grows
(Où est la Lavande?)
In the palm of your free hand
(Où est la Lavande?)
When the lavender returns
(Où est la Lavande?)
It’ll warm your frozen bones
(Où est la Lavande?)
Vivid violet clothes
(Où est la Lavande?)
In their candy overtones
(Où est la Lavande?)

We welcome the sun
We welcome the sun
A gleaming sunrise is seen in the distance – shedding relief
Bursting forth like fireworks in the dark blue sky
Hues of beauty and sincerity washes away our grief
The cheery clouds come together like lovers embracing one another
I’m never waving goodbye
It’s so surreal… and magnificent to see this scene unfold
You lift up the sparkling light… you’re an angel from up above
It’s so vibrant – the illuminated sight never dulled
You bring us luck and excitement –
You’re as pleasant as a dove
We welcome the sun
We welcome the love
We welcome the sun
We welcome the sun
To omit the darkness
To abolish the distress
To conceal the darkness
And reveal the halo
Hovering around your head
Burning away the dread
We welcome the sun
We welcome the sun
We welcome the sun
An ocean of love is rubbing against my feet
Blankets of comfort embrace me now… our love will never dry
You treat us with reverence and I repeat –
You’re as pleasant as a dove – taking wing from on high
We welcome the sun in the morning
We welcome the sun with open arms
We welcome the sun
We welcome the sun
We welcome the sun
We welcome the sun
A speedy breeze is whistling in my ears
Spiraling mad like a spinning top
Spiraling mad with all of its might
You’re very intriguing – you casted away our fears
Your gorgeous eyes
Project bright green and blue
You’re special in His sight
He welcomes you
We welcome the hope
We welcome the sun
We welcome the sun
We welcome the sun
To lighten up your load
And lead you to the mercy road
Where you and I will escape to paradise
To drive out all of the negativity
To conceal the wretched farewells
To reveal the light in goodbye
We welcome the sun
We welcome the sun
We welcome you
With open arms

These were my confessions
(A message to God)
The light begins to fade
(It’s time to go)
Back into the shadows
(That hard black fog)
Where darkness has its way
(God rest your soul)
Nothing left to tell you
(It’s all been said)
No more songs to write
(This silent Fall)
Nothing left to offer
(The well’s been bled)
From a shadow’s waning life
(Who lost it all)
Take my words and hold them
(Don’t be afraid)
Place them near your heart
(And heal your pain)
Shadow words will kiss you
(And heal your pain)
When your world turns dark
(Don’t’ be afraid)
And I kiss you
Kiss you
I kiss you in the dark……..

You’ve maddened me to the core
You singed me with your ferocious fire
We’re opposites… we’ll never integrate
We can’t blend with each other…
Your love and I’m hate
We’re contrary to each other…
So don’t even think about
Getting us back together
Because without a doubt,
We don’t click with each other…
So let us go our own way…
Everything’s black and white
You love to torture me with your deceptive devices
We’re playing this chess match – let’s fight!
Tonight, you’re going to pay the prices
You’re going to be deleted from my mind…
I’m not the one that should pay the price
You act as if you’re an angel from heaven
But, you’re a fiend…a devil from hell...who needs your advice?
Could someone unchain me from this prison?
So let us prepare for that day…
Fear and bewilderment build inside of our minds
Taking over us…we’re wasting valuable time
Terror and wrath injects into our veins…time starts to unwind
I’m regaining my glory…this moment feels so sublime
You think you’re innocent?
I can sense your guilt…bleeding through you
Do you live to feed me anguish?
Don’t deny it…you crafty demon…no wonder I feel blue
Let’s get ready for battle…
I’ll watch you decay…
IT’S PAY BACK TIME . . .
Taste my fury and my agony
Everything’s black and white
You love to torture me with your deceptive devices
We’re playing this chess match – let’s fight!
Tonight, you’re going to pay the prices
You’re going to be defeated…
I scream before nightfall
I close my eyes to kiss my demise
I want to disappear
Scratch away my desolation
Wipe away my tears…
Spewing out of my eyes…like a waterfall
Tonight, there will be dismay
There will be suffering
After sundown…
Failure and glory will expose like stars in the midnight sky
Who will earn the crown?
No one knows in silent wars – who can reveal the light in goodbye
Why are we black and white?
Are you too afraid to know the reason why?
Everything’s black and white
You love to torture me with your deceptive devices
We’re playing this chess match – let’s fight!
Tonight, you’re going to pay the prices
You’re going to suffer alone…

A poem wrote by me, based on Person who is a deserving icon but still struggling hard with his career life and addressed as disturbed creature.
DISTURBED CREATURE--> Am I ?? BY Mrs.Madhavi Suyog Pagare
Am I so insane, Am I so mad,
Dramatic mood of mine is so die hard.
Destroyed my peace, Shattering my dreams,
People call me as disturbed creature.
As like mounting the pain, attenuating the drain!!
Digesting my feelings lying inside me,
Strangely nobody cared, call me sick.
Teasing me lavishly and my heart is pricked,
Hurted me like hell when addressed me as stupid.
As like showering rain, missing on the lane!!
Time lapse in journey of life,
Can hamper anybody on its path.
When I see innate reflex of mine,
I always use to brightly shine.
Though possessing every job attributes of mine,
I never thought the authorities will ditch and hamper my career line.
Falsely acting bloody swine, making my image as fade as wine.
As like affecting harmonious divine, my soul was, as is transparently pristine!!
Destroying me and testing my patience, Never wanna give up.
Transformed deviations, wanna rightly screw up.
I wanna raise up, I wanna shake up.
I wanna wake up, Tranquilize my mind.
Unzip the professional life compressed by the culprits.
Wanna explore myself, driving the motivated heights of journey.
Lastly waiting for the optimistic opportunity.
Cuffing the suspect ,I wanna rejoice by my pattern of life!!
with Suyog Pagare

Lift the wailing wood
Hammer the tortured nails
Place the ghostly steps
Below the battered rails
Invite those crazy strangers
Dressed in stranger clothes
Join the mighty miracle
Ready to unfold
Building a stairway
In the desert
Aimed toward the pure and honest sky
Building a stairway
In the desert
Going to rise for miles
And miles
Leave this evil town
Where scorpions share your bed
Guilty snakes make a home
Deep inside your head
The bleeding sun
Burns your feet
Hangmen joke
Beggars weep
Buried bodies
Cry for help
Undertakers
Steal your wealth
Building a stairway
In the desert
Aimed toward the pure and honest sky
Building a stairway
In the desert
Going to rise for miles
And miles
We’re laughing and
We’re dancing
In the desert
Dancing in the desert
Of our lives
Can’t you see?
We’re dancing in the desert
Dancing in the desert
Of our lives
Feel so free
Dancing in the desert
Dancing in the desert
Of our lives
Free….so free
In the desert
Dancing in the desert
Of our lives
Lift the wailing wood
Hammer the tortured nails

< dancing to the hit song monster mash
frankenstein and werewolf got real smashed
took the witches culdeen
and boiled up mummys spleen
Quasimodo joined in on the bash
witches brew of brains spleens gizzards hearts
illuminates party from it's start
Dracula and zombies
lurking for free bodies
poor old frankie's wife just fell apart
the bewitching dance came to its end
when bats flew in frenzy around den
on this all hallows eve
trickery was up sleeve
sent my 3 black cats in to defend

I cherish you,
If you cherish me.
You brought me to life,
We began to meet through time,
Even though,
Sometimes you don't comprehend me,
Sometimes you don't understand me,
That sometimes time isn't enough,
That sometimes instincts get uncontrolled...,
But still,
You were designated for my life,
And you profile my living...
We share lives...
Although,
Time brings maturity,
And time doesn't last forever,
As well as we don't last forever...
There is no such thing,
As total perfection,
Even though,
Thank you...

Sometimes things are up,
And sometimes they are down,
Sometimes black is white,
And sometimes it is brown.
All the rivers flowing,
Back to the sacred sea,
All the monkeys climbing,
Up the very same tree.
You think you know a lot,
Think you know it all,
But the autumn leaves are falling,
At the north wind's lonely call.
The thinking of the meaning,
The reasons lost and gone,
At last the place is ready,
A vacant holy throne.
The emptiness that fill you,
Fills you from inside,
Is the treasure you are holding,
The bridegroom's holy bride.
And now the north wind's blowing,
Blowing down the Way,
And now we sit here waiting,
For the bridegroom's wedding day.

Look at you, you have found my heart
With love I stare into your eyes
With passion I devise
I can not part with you or can not stop the things I have started
So I raise my hands to embrace you and you alone
Look I walk by your side and I found my self crying
With your hands so soft with gentleness
With your smile so beautiful with carefulness
I do notice life with you without sighing
So I raise my hands to embrace you and you alone
Without a fear of losing you, you are in my visions
With beautiful roses by your side
I love you more than twelve times
Without doubt I do love you, I care for you and you alone
So do not walk away
Please lets talk about things anyway
With feelings of letting you go is make me ache in the heart
Do not stop believing my passion has fallen apart
So I raise my hands to embrace you and you alone
Look I want us to grow old with each other through years of journeys
With hope of sharing life of fulfillment that gives us memories
With this I hope to give all of my faith and I hope it is not to late
I Look into your eyes with such full life because you have been my life date
So I raise my hands to embrace you and you alone
And you alone
So I raise my hands to embrace you
you alone

Backyard Vacation
(Country, male vocal, speed/tempo in vein of Zac Brown Band's "Knee Deep" w/Jimmy Buffet)
When life’s hurdles got ya goin’
Around in circles without you knowin’
And it seems they’ll never end
I take a walk in my backyard
I like that it’s so large
There I look around and take it all in
Sometimes life feels strained
It shows us joy and sometimes pain
I’m here to tell ya a backyard can explain..
That just for a few minutes
So long as a hammock’s in it
Life’s trials can’t ever beat out a sunny day
I’m lucky got a few nice acres
Trees and a pond from our good lord maker
I’m thinkin’ it’s funny how it got this way
As I take in the view
And tell myself don’t be a fool
This feeling is what you never want to go away
Sometimes life feels strained
It shows us joy and sometimes pain
I’m here to tell ya a backyard can explain..
That just for a few minutes
So long as a hammock is in it
Life’s trials can’t ever beat out a sunny day
The beauty you’ll see offers a hedge
Like a tree’s reflection against the water’s edge
It’s a paintin’ you can see in your mind
It’s all a gift so enjoy the tryin’
Sometimes life feels strained
It shows us joy and sometimes pain
I’m here to tell ya a backyard can explain..
That just for a few minutes
So long as a hammock’s in it
Life’s trials can’t ever beat out a sunny day
Can’t ever beat out a sunny day..

The Lord Jesus is my shepherd,
Green pastures are my bed.
Beside a gently flowing stream
Of living waters I am led.
And God feeds my hungry spirit
With His manna from above.
He’s my shepherd, and He leads me
In His paths of wondrous love.
In the valley of death's shadow
My soul need know no fear,
For the giver of all life
Is forever standing near.
I am guided through the darkness
By His constant, holy light.
He’s my Shepherd and He’ll lead me
Through this land of darkest night.
Though the foe camps all around me,
My soul is safe from harm;
I am safely in the shelter
Of God's mighty outstretched arm.
I know Satan cannot touch me
While my Savior holds my hand;
He’s my Shepherd, and He’ll lead me
To the happy promised land.
He'll not leave me nor forsake me;
Of this, I have no doubt.
And when I get in trouble,
He's right there to help me out.
I have come to trust His saving power;
His sure truth has set me free.
The Lord Jesus my Shepherd
And I know He cares for me.

She was a tappin' to the tunes...
of those Mississippi blues...
step-pin' out, in her white...
Pat-en-leather shoes,
We were a watchin' her a prancin',
all through the kitchen, dancin'...
for she was so...hot & sizzlin'...
hummin' to those Mississippi tunes...
Funny curlers too, upon...
her head...for a new... Hair dew,...
she was, a swirlin'-in that bakers apron,
when her head...star-ted a bobbin' to...
those Mississip-pi blues,
'Pots were a knockin'...
Grandma a sockin' down all she brews,
while that kettle there was whistlin',
in har-mo-ny, with them good ole...
good ole...mississip-pi moves,'
That floor there, was a bouncin'
holdin' hands we were a jumpin',
an-a hoppin' In the kitchen, to those...
sounds ...
Where Grandma's feet were a stompin',
In her new...New-white-sexy-pat-en-

(ya hoo)

I have lived,
And felt the cost,
Paid my dues,
But I have lost_ You.
Still I pray,
As chaos looms,
And as my blue turns into grey,
I hear__
The angels sing- In tune.
Don't be giving in,
Don't give up my son,
Or fade away,
Lift your chin with the sun__ And rise,
With this new day!.
I have lived,
And felt the cost of all my wonderin ways,
I've paid my dues,
I - Have lost you.
I can hear the angels sing,
Your in a mistaken land__ Lessons learned in truth,
As the grey seeks out the blue,
She will__ Your daughter my son---
She will return--- To You.
For I have lived,
Felt the cost of all my walkin days,
I've paid my dues,
I- Lost you....
I wont be giving in,
Won't give up my girl,
Or fade away,
I'll lift my chin with the sun---
And RISE--
With this new day...

Your glorious emerald eyes
Glisten in the moonlight
Glisten in the moonlight
Delight dances in the water
I watch it joyfully
You are set free from the cage...
You're like a dove soaring in the sky
You are the rain...
drizzling down in ecstasy
A hint of ecstasy is shown in your reflection...
When you caress me... I'm relieved...
From the stress that forced me in chains
I knew we'd be on the brighter side of tomorrow
We're glistening in the moonlight
I knew we'd become candles in the heavens above us
We're glistening in the moonlight
For a moment, I felt your presence...your radiant with sympathy
I saw at first glance the dark side of you
Tonight, we'll be together and fly through the horizon
We'll watch the sunset say its last goodbye...
We'll wave a greeting at the moon!
We glisten in the moonlight...
What if I was as handsome as the lion...
Roaring with pride and pure courage
What if we were glistening in the moonlight?
Would it bring health to our bones tonight?
Would it make our heart rejoice and overflow with delight?
Would we be able to survive this horrifying plight?
Would we be shimmering like a candlelight?
We're glistening in the moonlight... (6)
Ohh...yeah...ooh yeah...ooh yeahh...
We reach to the stars and hope we can trace a shooting star
I feel the coolness run down my fingers...
We're glistening in the moonlight
You're the dandelions in the fields
You're the gorgeous view that I marvel at everyday
When you kiss me, I live my dreams
We glisten in the moonlight
In a quick moment, I sense a feeling of endless renewal
I roam inside of your illuminating maze
Glow on... sunshine...
Glow on...sunshine...
Glisten in the moonlight...
Listen to the truth and rub it in
You are ravishing like the sunset
But you're ascending while I'm descending
I feel extremely guilty
I wish I could glisten with you in the moonlight
You're glistening in the moonlight (6)
Ohhh yeahh... oohhh yeahh... ohh yeahh
You're glistening in the moonlight (4)
We go our own way
I wish we can glisten like the moon
Glisten like the sun
There's a dream concealed inside of me...
Reveal your light and pour it upon me
You glisten in the appealing moonlight
While I'm subsiding... you're fulfilling your dreams
Of gliding across the horizon
You're independence... keeps on scorching with satisfaction
While I'm below you...
Your emerald green eyes
Stared me down like a hawk...
Your emerald eyes
Gaze down at me genuinely...
I wish we could flee together in reality...
That could be a possibility
To glisten in the moonlight in glee
We were glistening in the moonlight (3)
But that was only a dream...
I'll pray that it turns into a reality
We were glistening in the moonlight
Now, I've misplaced my delight...
Will I ever experience such a brilliant night?

I once was like a catipiller young,naive,and new
Always living from my heart not knowing what
else to do.Easy to take advantage of, that is
just the case, people would walk over me
like I was their dirty used up suitcase.
Now I feel a newness coming, like a light
shining from the sky, colors fill my world
and I know I am blooming into a butterfly.
Purple,Pink, Blue and Green I can feel them
flowing through. Colors of the rainbow raising
me into full bloom. Wise and strong I am becoming
My faith leads me where I need to go giving me
insight and wiseness for only me to know.
I have not done this on my own you see
I have been guided by God and Angels
on this Earth. Wise words the wisdom at
it's best comes from a wise lady who
seems to know me best. Lucky, I am
to have her in my life, she always shoots
it straight and tells me like it is, knowing
her words touch my heart and gives me tons of faith..
I feel like flying through the sky or climbing
a tree way up high. I feel like observing the
world just like a brand new butterfly so as I
Bloom I become Anew something unlike the past
Smart and wise beautiful on the inside and outside
a touch of color here a touch of color there
makes me glow and become a beautiful blooming butterfly...

I am the face of misery
My life, a dissonance of autumn and spring,
The years are written in the same
Lugubrious, nostalgic grey
How can it be the author to blame?
I cannot scream this all away…
Burn nor Bleed this all away…
To Death I am Ordained
Lacuna ever growing
With Velvet sheets of life flowing
Aeons apart of my "royalty"
Under the mask the cannot see...
Can you dispel this tragedy:
Antigone - Epiphany failing
If it must be…
Then just kill me,
(Antigone) sing me out of reality;
I wear this dissonant crown of shame
(Antigone) Of a kingdom's disdain
I hate to be this way... normalcy's bane
(Antigone) Here comes the edict, to blame
The sordid child of Thebes,
This is me,
Antigone
No words of hope
No words of hate
Do I have Lenore to send to me:
The sordid child of Thebes
Caught In the longest nightmare
life - the slowest way to die
I know this is my life
But I'm not under control
under the mask the will see
Just Another Human
If it must be…
Then just kill me,
(Antigone) sing me out of reality;
I wear this dissonant crown of shame
(Antigone) Of a kingdom's disdain
I hate to be this way... normalcy's bane
(Antigone) Here comes the edict, to blame
The sordid child of Thebes,
This is me,
Antigone
If it must be…
Then just kill me,
(Antigone) sing me out of reality;
I wear this dissonant crown of shame
(Antigone) Of a kingdom's disdain
I hate to be this way... normalcy's bane
(Antigone) Here comes the edict, to blame
The sordid child of Thebes,
This is me,
Antigone
Can you dispel my life; this tragedy?
Can you control the storm in my mind?
I'm asking you: can you rid me
Of The Curse of Antigone?

Promise
By: IzaDonna
You were such a young boy
With a tragic past
I know it still haunts you
Feeling like the pain will always last
Just remember, Just remember
I'm here for you
Keep your strength up
And always stay true
Chorus:
So make me a promise
A promise that you'll keep
Better your life
Before your into deep
I'll stick with you
Even when I'm gone
Watching from heaven
As you carry on
That's my promise
I know its a struggle
Fighting the demons of your past
Don't worry brother
I'll pick u up when ur falling fast
And always in my eyes
No matter what you do
I'll always have you back
No matter the decision you choose
Chorus
So when you feel
Like you wanna give in
Keep your head up
Remember where u've been
Find your inner strength
And moving toward
What you wanna achieve
Always push forward
Chorus X2

[The Puppeteer]
The storm I see you in
Caught in the race of Caïn
Held by the arms you cannot see--the conducter of Ennui
-No stronger than the void you hold within-
It began with a hope, an obsession
Casted into, slavery of repugnant possessions
Granted by, the Avaricious Lords, the ones we serve for
-They Told Us to pray, hope, away from despair, the despair caused by their immaculate Hands
Malice, envy, greed, was granted to me, The Feudal Dream, we want to be Them, just like him
-just how he solaces us, ambivalent hope, engendering knives to my throat
[The Fall]
In this Valley of morning and weeping
Love lies bleeding, in desperate fear
With their talons, the hunt to rip out thy heart
As each velvet petal falls apart
Her body chained in their bile and lies, covered with their red-spy
-sent just to check if our souls are in line, do not defy
Her blood velvet and pure, drips away with innocence of the amber guardian
The soil of plagues, beggars, and graves
Is know her home, the coven of solace
Though the seed has died--resurrection Is near passing through death's fear
One stronger than you--and thy funeral skies
She is alive--anew
But the vapors still remain
The Apocalypse is here, do we fear?
Just for the death of our sins
Elysia never Seemed so far away
[Our Damnation]
Solitary ruins, Fulfill their visions
We strayed far from the depths within
We all lingered to his solace--lies
-you make the sign everyday, but lack toknow the name
We are just the toys, he pulls all of the strings
We are nothing in this burning world
of Decadence, and Failed Semblance
[Draconian]
Draconian--Reach for the shadows within
Draconian--Break from the Fallen's son
Draconian--Their empirical lies, only die
Draconian--Reach the shadows within

I have a peaceful easy feeling
As I sit and write this poem
Comprising 5 old songs
Which remind me of my home
They show me the importance
They teach me with such grace
To get up every morning
With a smile on your face
My youth was filled with ballads
Verses I could trust
And we all know what memories bring...
They bring dia-monds and rust
Songs taught me that my friends were
The wind beneath my wings
To treasure and embrace them
To value what life brings
There's a crack in everything
That's how the light gets in
For me, 'bout sums it up
The hope one feels within
Sometimes a simple sound
Or smell can be so strong
It carries me back light years
To one specific song
And in that song I bask
I know what each line means
Transcended to the past
Dressed in my tie-dyed jeans.
Eagles – Peaceful Easy Feeling
Carol King - Beautiful
Joan Baez - Diamonds and Rust
Bette Midler - Wind Beneath My Wings
Leonard Cohen - Anthemn

This is dedicated to
the uneducated who,
segregate from the greats
the hate gave integration to,
though the paved the way for you,
you just simulate the flu,
infected with cold hearts
like inflammation made it through,
To...
You...
So take a second to converse,
listen to me, then speak,
just make sure you think first,
about the thirst, of the dream,
had by Dr. King, which would
hurt beyond the seams, if he
witnessed everything,
The Scenes!
How we're treating one another,
Educated versus thugs, like
we are not brothers, What's the
point to jump from slavery to
having white lovers, if less racism
means the blacks hate each other?
My Brothers! I have no intent on
hating you, I just hope you make it
through. So this is Dedicated To
You...

In the exact moment that I am right now
I stand in a sea of vulnerability;
susceptible to the effects of causes around me
and since I am fully aware,
I own my surroundings
I am one with sounds and vibrations
resonating from the earth;
I am that pulse of the drum beat
thats been thrashing
inside me since birth
Right now, I am exactly as I am
deeply flawed and misjudged
used, victimized and persecuted
Right now I am you in the absolute
Right now, I am exactly as I am
balanced, whole and complete
attracting abundance and certainty
Right now I am peace - still you
Right now, I am exactly as I am
You

Little do they know
this candle is a torch.
That this torch
a conflagration.
Little do they know
these rocks are a mountain.
That these mountains
are earth.
Little do they know
we still see in the dark.
That the darkness
births sunlight.
Little do they know
these trumpets will call.
That the call
will emancipate.
Raise your head
from its hunched state
knowing that they will one day see
A truest composition of you and me.

Drowning in the pool of anguish…oh…oh…
I’m venturing into the forest…and I want to hear the words seep out
Release these aching sorrows…I worry my soul’s drying out…
like a drought…
Drain out the fluids from my heart
It’s gouging me…bruising me to the core…
**chorus**
Embrace the light…embrace the midnight sky…
You fall in my arms – you die so warm
Shed me more sun to lift up my spirits
From the…underground…and release me – I’m breathless
I’m drowning in doubt…ooh… oh…
Remember me…I’m falling…into my swirling fate…hanging on the roots
Strangling my heart…distorting in my veins… I’m bleeding so softly – cut out the wood…
Splintering me…I’m shattering… and I’m falling in the abyss
Bring me more radiance from my candle light
Warp me up in bliss…don’t let the midnight sky…don’t take away my delight
From the…ocean…and save me—save me…oh… oh… I’m failing
*chorus*
I’m drowning in regret…ooh..oh…
Hit the bull’s eye in my heart…embrace the light
And don’t leave me hanging in the abyss…hand me a kite!
Save me before I fall apart…shut out the night
And don’t let the dusk escape us…
I must confess…
I must confess…
I hate to see you abandon the light…
But I’m not the one to save you from the night
Ooh…ohh…
*Chorus*
Splintering lies fill your heart
I want to kiss it goodbye…
But you’ve mastered it like a piece of art
I want to kiss the abyss and die…
Dry… I wanna touch the sky with my whole soul
But I’m failing and the end of time has taken its toll
Tainted sorrow…swims around me…I dwell where the waters depart
But the anguish still swarms in my heart…
I’m failing…my heart stops beating
And my desires are fleeting
From my grasp
And the monsters laugh at me…as I fall…
*chorus*
Embrace the midnight sky…catch me…catch me…
As I fall in death’s arms…I die so cold
And your heart is made of gold
Untangle the darkness & take away the nightmares
Answer our prayers & block out the night
Erase the heartaches & wipe away our tears
Unravel Your words of life & delight

Ridiculous. Never have you met a brother to ever have explosiveness. Like a pyrotechnic you know that I will stay blowin' this. Beat up till' I wake the streets up. Because Gary, Indiana needs a spiritual re-up. My city is sobbing and it's looking for some perfection. because it's spirit has left it's body. Call it astral projection. This is how Gary raps. The best thing since Mike Jack. And it can't get no better than that.
And so begins my city's rebirth. The Midwest the quickest rappers ever seen on this green earth. Too rappers try to race us, they need to reverse. Because too many lyrics coming at you upon this mean verse. The G is the city that not a single soul has tested. If they try us then they will see that we can never be bested. So many people hurt. Twice as many arrested. Our natives don't really care. they're born and raised to be reckless.
The rip and the wreckage that you're seeing on every block. And the cops acting hot when they try to run in your spot. Addicts on the corner are always looking for rocks. And these prostitutes are sexing and sucking on every cock. So many have tried but have never made it to fame. Because they're looking at Gary like a sack of some sour lames. So riches is something that we really couldn't attain. That is until today, because I'm on a whole nother plain.
To be glyph here are stories that go with bringing Gary back to it's former glory. If you're squeamish then cut it off. To be honest this is gory. How I'm gonna chop this beat and cook it like tenderloin. Maybe a ghost town but will never diminish. We're bucked up now. It's a fight to the finish. And that's for anybody trying to snuff my city's rebirth. Off the dome sophistication. No, my lines aren't rehearsed. It's Intel.

The Gift of Sound.
In our little house stands an upright piano
Tuned by a blind man blessed by the gift of sound.
My son sat one day playing a masterpiece
Wrote long ago by a man who couldn’t hear.
Listening to the music it took my mind away to
Afar magical places no luggage and no cases.
My mind kept jumping between different scenes
Fields of colored flowers the loveliest it can be.
Shadows of far mountains colors in different hues
A pied piper sat under a tree playing his favorite tune.
Sheep gathered together chased by a cleverly dog
Taught by nature no cane and no flog.
Oh… the gift of sound.

CONFIDENCE
The world is full of people trying to stand out.
But they don’t realize that they already do.
They try so hard to figure what life’s all about.
With all their piercings, Crazy hair, and fresh tattoos.
They miss out because of the worry they feel.
Will they approve of the way I dress, think, or act?
In the spotlight a few moments they might steal.
But some of the stupid things they do can’t be taken back.
I have a secret that only the few wise ones know.
Love who you are and forget what they think.
And all the good things in life will soon follow.
And you shall rise above all as the critics sink.
So meet the world with you head held high.
Let them see the beauty that is in you.
Let them see your happiness and joy inside.
And know that nobody needs to love you more than you do.

Tell me, tell me is it true that a song lives deep within you
In your heart, your soul screaming to come out
Banging on the door, let me in, let me learn, let me love the
one who created all
I want to learn about my God
about his love for you
his love for me
about his mercy and grace
I want to see his face on the day of days
oh, I know that it is true
I know there's a song bagging to be free
living within me.
I want to sing his praises
I want to sing his name so all may know Jesus. God of Gods, King of Kings shine
your love, your light, your grace upon me.
God the father, you sent only son to help us find way back to your loving grace
How beautiful your way, guiding us taday
Loving us the the way you do
Oh, how I long to know you, to see your holy face, your love and grace for the
children you create how merciful your ways
Tell me, tell me is it true that a song lives deep within you
In your heart, your soul screaming to come out
Banging on the door, let me in, let me learn, let me love the
one who created all

I tried to write about love but I haven’t felt it.
I tried to write about the sea but I’ve never seen it.
Then I tried to write about the air, but I have never breathed it.
I tried to write about magic but I never believed it.
I couldn’t write about god, all I have ever done is sinned.
And when I tried to write about life I found,
I have never really lived.

This morning
bells toll
a trumpet sounds
but refuses to blare
it just doesn't know
how to harm
what it takes
to infect the living
trees
earth
and sound
survive sadness
out last the past
bond brothers and sisters
of sky
air
mud
and water
as it loses
to a force
some days...
this morning
it wins
because the vibration knows god
and is ONE
and though human imperfections
sit in the shadows of it's path
perfections will
and forever will
prevail
people
so arrogant
we choose to destroy
but how can we concentrate
on methods of malcontent
when god sits at our breakfast table?
urging
as father urges child
"get up!"
"move on!"
"stand on two feet!"
"breath child!"
he tolls the bell
as we lay on deaf ears
he loosens ties with anger
as the path warns and wears
thrusting
driving this cosmic ship
of no loses
only tiny
arrogant setbacks
and he smiles
for he knows
what we yet
have to find...
and all is well.

Your love pricks me like a rose each thorn grows but no one knows Your so full of
it as it shows so carry on now go on, go. I'm fed up with the phony and i'm
through with the tears, you couldn't pay me all your money to make up for those
years. Someone help me I feel faint how could I think he was such a saint and
worst of all I let me fall into a spiral down below. A magic called love carried
by the dove of someone I use to know.

Lord, a storm is raging- in our mist
Our nation suffers- with its twists
I know you see these roots of evil, don’t you?
We spend our time- getting ahead
We’ve lost sight- of the blood you shed
With hope we raise our voice with Hallelujahs
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
There are children hungry- in our streets
The population- ignores the weak
But you send your angels in their mist, now don’t you
There are murders committed -in our land
It’s time for us- to take a stand
Please hear our pleas in these broken Hallelujahs
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Reparations needed- for wicked deeds
Twas with sinful lust- evil bare its seeds
We need cleansing from immorality, please won’t you?
As we bend our knees- and bow our heads
We lay our plight- at your feet instead
Our prayers not lost within our Hallelujahs
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
The signs that you -are coming soon
Have been preached for years- with sudden doom
But with loving hands you’ll save your children, won’t you.
You’ll pluck your flowers from the weeds
Salvation winning over sinful deeds
With our faith we raise our voices in Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
With humbled heart and meek attitude
We come to you, with our gratitude
And raise our voice with joyful Hallelujahs
Salvation bought with your blood depleted
Victory was won with death defeated
Your brides await the bridegroom, Hallelujah!!
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Written for a Members Contest to write a lyric to the tune of Leonard Cohen’s “Hallelujah”
I decided to keep the Hallelujah’s in place because I think we need to hear more “Hallelujahs” in our world today.
*No infringement intended on Leonard Cohen’s original verses of “Hallelujah”.

Where am I? Why is it dark?
This isn’t what I had in mind when I left the park…
Why isn’t the wind whispering…the songbirds singing?
All I remember is a telephone ringing…
A scream and a crash and a pain in my side…
Is this what happens after one’s died?
I don’t feel like myself, I feel wild and free,
Yet I’m cold and alone, 'stead of filled with glee.
My whole life I’ve studied, and pondered, and prayed,
Trying to fathom what would happen this day
But now that it’s here, I’m beginning to fear
Maybe the afterlife’s not what it appears…
It’s certainly not what I’ve been told by my preacher
Or my parents or brother or best friend or teacher…
Is it a bad thing, or is it good?
Maybe it’s just not quite understood...
While I was on Earth, I just couldn’t wait
To meet good St. Peter at the heavenly gate
And ask him a question or query or two
“What was my purpose?” “What good did I do?”
“What’s it all for?” “How does it all flow?”
“Can I have one more body, one more try, one more go?”
But where is the angel? Where is the gate? And
If this is Hell, then where is Ol’ Satan?
Am I a lost soul? Am I forgotten?
Am I to be left here until I am rotten?
Lo and behold! what, now, can this be?
Is this a wonderful spiritual epiphany?
Is this the magical feeling all souls receive
When they leave Earth? Oh! was I that naïve?
How could I have not seen the realism?
Why was I consumed in man-made idealism?
This is more wondrous than all I was taught
Oh, all the times I argued and fought
With others, ‘bout how their views were asinine
Now I see, theirs were just as wrong as mine!
Little I thought was actually correct!
How, why, did I let others petty beliefs infect
My untouched, my pure, my virgin mind?
I regret all the hours I self-tortured to find
That compared to what I see now, I was empty and blind…
Wait - - What is this that I see?
What is this gateway that is revealed unto me?
Now a door is opened to my immortal soul
I am expected now to enter my life’s final goal…
I am scared, intimidated, but still I am glad…
For the truth I have just seen is anything but bad.
This is the end of my journey, I’ve nothing to fear,
For now I am going Beyond the Frontier.

If I could dream
for anything
I would dream of Peace, Love
and Unity
for all Bloods & Crips
all gangs, are in need of a change
for you represent such ignorance
and scrutiny
Difference in colors worn
Sides in which you were born
are truly all that divides
when the two opposing sides
collide
and it makes no sense
for we all Bleed
Blue turned Red
Blood Inside
And a future generation
is hard to provide
when death, is like your shadow
creepin' up by your side
and drive-by shootings happen
each late night, outside
where running seems the only option
to know
for no places to hide
no defense for your demise
for a difference in colors worn
and what side in which you were born
is truly all that divides
when these two sides collide
and it makes no sense to me
for we all Bleed
Blue turned Red
Blood Inside

Deep in the woods I hear an angel's lyrical call.
Tranquil and serene, a majestic summer waterfall.
Where the oaks and wildflowers shade the creek,
reflections fall to earth from rays of destiny,
refreshing my soul and setting my spirit free.
I smell the aroma of rain mixed with the paradise breeze.
Tranquil and serene, a natural wonder and rainbow of peace.
A cascading sparkling jewel,
above a wave rippling whirlpool.
Upon the wind rides the angel's lyrical call.
Tranquil and serene, a majestic summer waterfall.

Society, community, society, community.
You can leave now and let me be.
I will swim free, free in your sea.
Your sea? your sea, polluted now, Oh you will never see.
Broken hearts, bodies too, beloved inner child, I love you.
Purity.
Alone.
Breathe, breathe, breathe.
Simplicity, simplicity, simplicity.
I know now that this is all I need.
To be. To be. That is all, just Be.
Burn your toys, television too, kill the car, the radio.....
MOooooooo.
Unleash, unravel, these boys, disentangle, unblock, reset there mind, please sir,
could you be so kind?
Simplicity, Simplicity, simplicity.
Eye's clenched shut.
Now I know, Alone in my hut, not long to go, you will be free.
Free. free. free.
Buy the car, buy the house, buy the cow, consume, consume, but how?
Now!
Now, now, you tell me are you happy? for ever and art thou.
Ah ha, you see, you see.
Simplicity, simplicity, simplicity.
That is all I need, I choose now, my self is free?
Yes, yes, yes sir, me?
Free to sit, sit and just be.
Me? Free? free to swim in this endless blue sea?
I will just sit, sit right here, against this healing earth, oh so very near.
My mind is liquid, free to birth.
Just be. Just Be. Just Be.
Simplicity, simplicity, simplicity.

I can’t be lost and can’t be found,
I’m in the air and in the ground;
I’m very loud without a sound.
I’m everywhere yet can’t be seen,
I’m where you’re going,
and where you’ve been.
I never stop and never start;
I am spirit’s love, which fills your heart.

of Shame and Sin, Something we all know
But not it's rise, For is has already became Virtue
Flaming Skies from an Angel So Bright
The World's Cure for Soul-Blight
A Hell on Earth
A Savior's Worth
So many Dreams are cast then Forgotten
So many lives are brought up then just
Thrown back down
Maybe she is The Cure
Maybe she is The Plan
All Fear the Flame
Failed Creation of Samael
She Comes from the Deep
She Comes from The Heavens' Vault
To End the dawn of the Demon
Purge this land of all Vice
Kali Yuga will be nevermore
The one of Sublime
Cassandra, Bringer of Muspelheim
Release me and
Burn away this land
Hold me by The Hand
Tell me the past is just pretend
Give me The Cure
If this is your destiny
Then May it be mine
I would die in time
I'm Just another Obstacle
In the way of your divine Wings
Forget me Cassandra
For Doom was already meant for me
All Fear the Flame
Failed Creation of Samael
She Comes from the Deep
She Comes from The Heavens' Vault
To End the dawn of the Demon
Purge this land of all Vice
Kali Yuga will be nevermore
The one of Sublime
Cassandra, Bringer of Muspelheim
Valkyrie of Heart
Angel of Grace
I surrender to You
Savior by Destiny
Dispel all Tragedy
Especially me
All Fear the Flame
Failed Creation of Samael
She Comes from the Deep
She Comes from The Heavens' Vault
To End the dawn of the Demon
Purge this land of all Vice
Kali Yuga will be nevermore
The one of Sublime
Cassandra, Bringer of Muspelheim

She chose a red scarf. The most red
of them all.
Of a dark red, a sweet and thick red color,
just as wine.
She carved from the red scarf
from the middle
to the size of a Martini glass.
Then she carved one more glass,
and she kept carving
till she fell asleep.
Yesterday
she saw her Beloved Moth
flirting with a Younger Moth,
carving together from a sweater
while she was getting busy,
carving in the shelves.
The Unhappy Moth drank lots of wine
woolen wine,
last night.
She drank lots, too much
for a Moth.
The Unhappy Moth got drunk
and fell asleep
on the red scarf,
unhidden
with a heart filled with peace.
She was not afraid no more.
Now she could be seen easily,
laying on the scarf
and easily crushed.
The Unhappy Moth was not
afraid of death no more,
at least, now she knew
how wonderful the red scarfs are
and that they taste
like red wine.

I have wondered long on how it would feel
If true love I ever found
Would I know in my heart that this is the one
To whom my soul would be bound -
Is it to you that my soul is bound?
How should I respond to the words you speak
Can I know whether they are sincere
Am I able to tell by the sound of your voice
As you whisper in my ear?
When you look at me so lovingly
With that twinkle in your eye
It stirs my heart and lights my soul
There are times it makes me cry
I am overwhelmed at the depth of your love
How tender you are to me
And I think to myself - can this really be true
Or is it just fantasy?
Are my fears misplaced - Do I wonder too much?
Am I using my doubts as a crutch?
Should I open my mouth and reveal to you
Just how deeply my heart has been touched?
I'll let fear and doubt go now - and trust in our love
For I know I have finally found
A treasure of love burning bright within me
And to you, my soul will be bound
Yes. It's to you my soul is bound!

I think I self-sabotage unknowingly
because of fear
So my message goes unheard because I’m afraid to let the people hear
And end up drowning in the poetic blues
doubting my ability to write about the truth;
I dug deeper and deeper into myself trying to write a poem good enough to be free of judgment
Then I stepped out on faith and suddenly I was triumphant
and my writing grew
and I was loving it
I had finally passed the fear of speaking and caring about who the fu*c! was judging it
As I wait to be inspired for the next poem,
I sit and think alone and drown in my sorrows
Listening to jazz, blues and a.m. radio
trying to find an excuse not to perform at the SLAM
because again I can’t think of a damn thing to write…..
Drowning in poetic blues
Will this be the one that will be thrown away and never be used
Or will this be the one that transcends the others
and finally prove that poetry is blues and blues is poetry and hip hop and jazz and r&b,
Poetry is music and the words dance around in my soul
and I am free once they become spoken
In the meantime the paper is where the words will rest
until the silence is broken
Drowning in the sea of proper delivery
My voice, my stance, my intensity
How will others interpret the words that I’ve chosen so diligently?
I wrap my soul around the possibility that none of the words I choose –
will keep me from becoming deluged and trapped by the poetic blues
Somehow my heart refuses to accept that I don’t deserve to have my words heard
and it takes over this whole process
No more time for shrinking and feeling less
I was born to make my words manifest light
I am a gorgeous medium to the truth yeah that's right
I was sent here to give you a piece of good news
Remember that God is with you when you get
The poetic blues

I'm not a hero for saving this game, and turning it around
I'm in entrepreneur for creating this game, from underground
I put these words together and spit 'em, so while you listen to my flow,
realize that none of this is for money, I do it as food for the soul.
Understand that these words are nothing, but a few syllables,
that are never gonna be read out over a microphone.
Unless I, actually make it, so this is make it or break it,
shatter it and glue it then do the same as I continue my day shift.
Of letting people step over me, and I'm slowly exploding,
'cause these people never sit down they wanna see me create a scene.
They wanna see me let go of this grudge, and finally blow up,
but why would I give these people anything that they want?
They're never gonna repay me, I need somebody to save me,
I need a friend that isn't gonna turn around and betray me.
So I keep writing, and letting my emotions run out through this pen,
cause I'll do anything to keep myself away from giving in.

I am a poet writing of my pain
I am a person living a life of shame
I am your daughter, hiding my depression
I am your sister, striving to make a great impression
I am your friend acting like I'm fine
I am a dreamer, wishing this life, wasn't mine
I am a girl who struggles with suicide
I am a teenager, pushing her tears aside
Side note: (Writing for other ladies out there, not so much myself, so don't worry about me)

Introduction: Life is a mystery with many ups and downs throughout the journey. The
journey filled with thoughts of tranquility and turmoil. But the perfect sensation is the
time when you get to feel closer to your Almighty, the one who understands you the best,
your closest friend, your hope and light, your solution to every problem, The mystery you
came to life to solve and to believe in.
Even in the happiest and the saddest moments, He is always there when you need Him.
Right now I am, thinking what to write
Holding my pen, it’s almost midnight,
I’m truly out of words, to express my whole life,
It’s so absurd, cut all pain through a knife
And I wish I could feel, Your presence in my soul
I know that You know, what I am going through
And I’m not sure I believe, unless I really feel
But I know when You’re not there, so I pray to feel You near
Now I can see, what this life is about
Now I do know, I’m too lost without,
Diamond in the rough, that’s what I was
But now I’m reborn by the shower of Your bliss
I’d die to satisfy, I’d do everything I can,
No matter how tough, after all I’m a man
I won’t fall apart, You’re always in my heart
I’d swim oceans and more, only to be Your friend
This undying grace of Your creation,
Time and space, more than perfection
You’ve opened my eyes and showed me the truth
You’ve blessed peace to my soul; I know what’s my role
I see two key coins, one black and one white
And all I have to join, the one with your light
Life is as it is, we make it our own
Hard or easy, full or alone
Everything grows, as they all involve
With the rose you put down, to show us what’s love
I wake up early, to see Your beauty,
Throughout the morning sun, I feel complete and done,
I drive all the way and see my problems solved,
By Your love from above, I stand still so firm
Everything I do, everywhere I go,
Every moment I breathe, I remind myself of You…my Almighty.

the life that you have now
is the one you will cry over when you are removed from it
it happens that many lives are taken
away from the now and when we lived
the can’t grow fast enough is bicycle hard to catch up to
crispy in leaves, and, bare under the bark

Here i am.
Here i am lord if you lead me.
Here i am lord if you teach me.
Here i am lord if you show me the way.
Here i am.
Take my body to do your will.
Take my heart to show others your will.
Take my soul to bring happiness to all who need it.

The bills, the pain, the drama, the rain
The storm grows larger and floods your brain
With thoughts that begin to drive you insane
Like, if I trust God will it all go away?
What am I missing? Empathy? Faith?
What will happen if I stay on this pace?
Am I one of those people that God can replace?
If I don’t change now is it hell I face?
Could we all be afraid of meeting our fate?
All these years trying to find someone to relate..
Is it true you can fall victim of a time and a place?
If I pray hard enough can I erase [pause]
The anger, the envy, resentment and hate ?
or at 25 years old could I be too late?
To try and change my life to get a new slate
And chills cover my arms and my heart begins to race
All of a sudden I can’t hear any rain
Laughter replaces the fear that remained
and God lets us know it will all be ok
Forgive those around you and thank God for each day
Think with your heart and in Gods you will stay.

My fingers brush the strings of an old guitar, hidden away in the closet in my room.
A small smile plays my lips and I close my eyes, picturing me playing that guitar.
Me singing some song on a bench in the rain.
Singing the music that makes my heartbeat pulse through my whole body.
I can sing. I know I can, I just need practice.
I laugh as I picture the look on my friends faces when I tell them this.
I smile and put the guitar away, all the while thinking of how I'd love to learn to play
that guitar.
To go to a friends party and sing. To make them feel what I do when I ride a high
brought on by nothing more or less than music.
Breathless, I sit on my bed, my face glowing.
I will learn. I will learn to let out the song that makes my heart fill with so much joy I
feel like I'm going to explode.
Still smiling, I put on my favorite music and let that high take me to a higher place.

Thank you for the beautiful memory
you left on my mind
you are not dead
but you are not here,
to me you are gone,
cos i cant feel you the way i used to,
everything you used to do are left untouched
the space you ocupied is empty,
our yesterday is fading away like the rainbow
so beautiful but so short,
how can i forget the endless yesterday?
when you are here with me.
in loving memory of my sister (you are not an angel but you did what an angel can do,you fly to heaven.)

If only I could make you see
that you mean so much more to me,
a priceless gift, wrapped in a smile,
the dream that makes my day worthwhile,
undoubted proof there is a God,
the joy that not all hope is gone.
To me you are that piece of mind,
that gives the world such sweet reply
that although love is sometimes lost,
its remnants left will never die-
How more could I express my love
for words are but the breath in me
what more can I, a man still do
except to give what's left of me . . .
for lips can flatter all too well
and sing the praise of many things
but you are in a different class
to you . . . . . I give my everything!
If ever I do fail to prove
my strong and constant love for you
then never have I lived a day
or ever took a breath anew.

Love's undeniable journey
explores all life,touches an
amazing earth only you and
I can share between time.
All ups n' downs come with
Fortune n' price, but together
We will shatter a mountain of
Rock.
A place we can go hide closely
cuddled cave, against the
Closure of your misled arms,
Wrapped tightly around a spin
Of Saturn's that ring me.
As Pluto's fire, breaks guard
closer to the sun.....Where GOD
GAVE ME YOU] And an UNchained
melody to sing.

A Silent Night's Hunt for a Tigress so blunt,
Left the Fiend dancing with my Thisbe's Cloack
But where was She? Her Drenching blood is all I can see
The Night of Sanguine, The Night of Rapture,
Tonight was meant to be
All Behold This Tragedy ran by Dark Energy,
My Lost Lover's Plea
A seed of what is to come,
In this starcrossed Tragedy,
For I can not live without you, My Pyramus,
All I need, My reason to Breathe
One sight of me bleeding away from reality,
started this tragedy and with me It shall Grow
The Pain wasn't enough for me,
To Live on with me
Love without consequence,
The Damned Saint, The Angelic Demon
The Darkness of the Sea,
Carries away with me,
In this Starcrossed Tragedy
A Star traveling across the moonless Night Sky,
In the mid-summer of Verona,
Fell from her glorious light,
I have lost my guide,
My need for Life
Every balcony I'll climb for you,
Just to Caress you once more
But now it is too Late, My Juilet
Let the Poison Fill me
My Body dyed In silence,
Dipped in Paralysis,
Forging the Will of God,
Feigning the Clutches of Death,
My Romeo I prithee to you,
See past The Illusion,
Caught in the Webs of Love's delusion
A Dagger reached my heart once
To see you martyr for our love
A Dagger reached my heart twice
The Pain wasn't enough for me,
To Live on with me
Love without consequence,
The Damned Saint, The Angelic Demon
The Darkness of the Sea,
Carries away with me,
In this Starcrossed Tragedy
Once the Morning Retired from her weeping
The sun shined into her eyes, then his
Lifeless, their dream will live on
Every Petal will be Avenged
The Pain wasn't enough for me,
To Live on with me
Love without consequence,
The Damned Saint, The Angelic Demon
The Darkness of the Sea,
Carries away with me,
In this Starcrossed Tragedy

The bluesman.
The bluesman
He’s up there, he’s a star
As he clutches in his hands
A battered old guitar
The bluesman knows his own damned worth
He does it in his style
And folk they come from miles around
And have done for a while
The bluesman plucks those strings
And wails his old blues harp
Then comes in with his rusty voice
Maybe he’s flat or sharp
But no one ever notices
They’re caught within his spell
When that bluesman does he’s stuff
Then in his world they dwell
With the bluesman
You get just what you see
He’s not out to impress you, man
He’s busy being He
And when he plays, he’s ‘It’ my friends
He pulls you into him
The bluesman can you hear him now?
When all the lights are dim.

What happened to us? Did it just take one night?
How does a beautiful friendship turn into mistrust and fights?
Everyone was against us. Did our love make us blind?
We seemed to be winning the race, and now we're so far behind.
I love you. I love you! Me and you, It's my life.
If money didn't matter, I would make you my wife.
Nothing makes me happier then to see a smile on your face.
I love your style, your car, your taste, and your place.
It's home to me, baby. You invited me into your world.
My angel, my treasure, my dream, and my girl.
The one I held close at night and hung out with all day.
The one I fought for her rights, the one who took my breath away.
We've had our ups, we've had our downs, and if this you happen to read,
I want you to know that I love you. Lea, it's you that I need!

The crystal lake
The crystal lake, so soft, serene and still
Enhanced our love, so tender it did feel
As we sat and watched the world go by
And all it seemed was part of you and I.
My heartstrings sang, as the sun worshipped your hair
As your essence glowed, so pristine and so rare
Your soft, sweet beauty, it lulled my head like wine
As your lovely eyes like naked stars did shine.
As the Lord looked down, and cast her light on you
And with this light came love so pure and true
Our lonely days were over, we’d found joy
In a love so strong that nothing could destroy.
And time stood still and all that is was one
We shared each other with the rising sun
Then we laughed, and sang, and laughed and cried
We’d found that space where only love can hide.

It's bout to get worse
It was written in the verse
The truth hurts
ARMAGEDDON WILL NOT BE TELEVISED
When the time comes
No one's gonna hold up a sign
saying it's time to "get right"
It's gone come like a thief in the night!
Blowin' up and wreckin ish!
The war you want is the war you gone get
It was written before our time
We keep looking at the signs
manifest before our very eyes
constantly denying our right
to be one of the meek ones of our time
ARMAGEDDEON WILL NOT BE TELEVISED
We're at the end of what used to be existence
Every super power will answer to a higher power
so pray repentence
The time is closer than any distance
From Washington to Obama
No one will escape the wrath!
Hope you choose the right path!
Narrow is the gate of the righteous tracks
that are imprented on the mind of the omnipotent one
Will you be spared life on earth with the meek ones
and accurately take in knowledge of his son?
OR will you perish in the dust
never to be awakened again?
No consciousness of sin
ARMAGEDDON WILL NOT BE TELEVISED!
It's in the verses
Read it, see it, live it, rehearse it
You see the times changing
You see the minds fading
You see the world and how messed up it is
You see that nigga satan and his curses!
I pray to have a chance to live a beautiful paradise on earth like it say in the verses!
ARMAGEDDON WILL NOT BE TELEVISED
YOU HAVE OFFICIALLY BEEN WARNED

To Dine, To Die;
Conversations spiral
While thunderous eyes
Grasp concepts to recycle.
Constant debt crisis
A political paradox
Grating social devices
Over the sorting of socks.
Pseudo-analysis
An endless groan
Argumental paralysis
The debate grants no throne.
Existentialism
Over a roast
Potatoes won't listen
To who talks the most.
"That point is so interesting"
The floor is open for chat
"What is real?" not a thing
"Meow" adds the cat.

I like your love
It's pure, it's innocent
and I don't think I've seen this before
You replenish my reserves before it's necessary
you lift my wings up and
make me superior to my adversary
Creatively providing the exact amount of
what I need to go another day
I like your love
and for as long as you'll have me I'll stay
You make me comfortable in my space
What she share cannot be replaced
with any other type of love
be it artificial or tainted or lustfully blatant
Those illusions don't exist because
we found this love and we claimed it
I cherish those nights when I scratch your head
When you sit between my thighs and I twist your dreads
We become an us that is so pure
that the spring waters question the purity of it's source
I like your love - it's a divine force

The secret syllables
and words
surround me
in a morning fog
I absorb them through
the places I wonder
ideas I ponder
they flow into my blood
veins
as they spill from my rose
lips
like shameless water
they sweep into me
like the wind behind my bare knees
they whisper into my ears
within the summers breeze
they creep u on me
like a bottle feeling
emerged from being
cloaked deep within
the search for a pen
and paper, feverishly
begins
into the depths of my soul
the intensity
is hard to control
like a wave, the words
tumble over me
overwhelmingly
grainy sands distort
my messages vision
as I struggle to write
how I remembered the piece
would begin
it feels like a rush
of electric
creativity
lightning bolts of
wisdom
jolt through my body
shooting from me
stories of grief, and struggles
things I share to help
others
not to repeat
of loss and love
like a bottled sermon
thrown from above
the words hit me

Like the seraphs whose wings unfold,
Christ's light and glory goes not untold;
as the love of his humble grace
moves inside me all time and space,
as the planets orbit heaven's sun
and encircle it one by one--
so, too, am I caught in his sway,
beloved of him from day to day.
Through hosts of astral dimension
God's angels fix their attention
with expectancy and burning pause
amidst the universe's First Cause.
He, the one true Incarnation
that begets cosmic causation,
resolves the Infinite Regress
from the pre-Socratics' egress
with his omniscient wisdom
and the archives of his kingdom
where all can come and read and know
what miracles he'll yet bestow.

Something like a love song
Crossed my mind,
Sang to my soul,
Made my heart fly.
Something like a daydream
Drove me wild
Had me on cloud nine
Free like a child.
Something like a miracle
Hit me hard
Had me jumping and skipping.
I was touching the stars.
Something like a love story
Took my by surprise
Feeling like I won the lotto
Gave me butterflies.
Something like a love song
Played softly to my heart beat
Its all your fault
And I'm swept off my feet.

This is where my heart is,
This is where it beats,
Singing a song
Every moment we meet.
This is my life,
Where you're my star,
Glittering and shinning,
But always so far.
Out of my reach,
Making me cry,
Forever and ever,
Looking at the sky.
I can't go near you,
I just might burn.
Being hurt is something
I wish I never did learn......
PRE-CHORUS
(But I know.....
That one day.....
It will show .......
And I'll be okay.....)
CHORUS
(This is where my heart is
This is where it beats,
I know you have one,
Held back by the heat.
I've watched you rise,
I've watched you fall,
Don't you know
I've seen it all.
I could be your plasma,
I could be your flame,
God only knows I'm the only one
Who can recall your name.
I won't let you go,
You may only feel hate,
But as long as you're here,
I'll just stand and wait.....)
You met a girl,
she seemed so sweat,
Little did you know it was your heart,
That she liked to eat.
I watched your hurt,
I seen your pain,
The flames surround you
Like a lion's mane.
If only she could see,
The things I can,
She'd never ever,
Say you couldn't be her man.
I feel so bad,
But you have to learn,
if you let down the flames
No one else could be burned.
PRE CHORUS
CHORUS
One day you'll let down all the flames,
So I can see you,
Cause baby you know,
I'm in love with you....
Oh, Cause
CHORUS X3
I'll just stand and wait....
Until you come,
I'll.... just stand and wait.

O, see that sunset.
That means the day is almost done,
But there’s a new day dawning
In a land beyond the sun.
A day of perfect peace and joy
For you and me,
In a land, beyond the sun,
That we call Eternity.
O, see that sunset.
That means it won't be long till night;
But after just a short sleep,
We'll wake to morning light.
A morning when from pain and grief
We’ll all be free.
In that land beyond the sun,
That we call Eternity.
Where no one ever dies;
No tears will dim our eyes.
In the presence of the Lord
We'll ever be.
He'll wipe away all tears;
We'll live through endless years,
In that land beyond the sun,
That we call Eternity.

I close my eyes in darkness
While the world lies down to sleep
As a father and a husband
My family’s mine to keep
Protect them? I am willing
I am always there on guard
But, when I’m not and far away
I trust You are, oh Lord
The rising sun of morning
Has my family’s eyes so wide
As the motor sounds of traffic
Fills the air that floats outside
And the people that are walking
Some are jogging, some just go
Makes me see, what truly is
And all I really need to know
God, You’re there… I see you
In the blue that reigns up in the sky
On the breath of clouds that float on by
The image of the homeless man
Who still offers up his time
As he asks not for, without doing first
So I give water to quench his thirst
To the flowers that grow in the park
And the trees that children climb
God, You’re there… I see you
While coming home at evening time
Knowing my family waits for me
I smile real wide as I walk along
So all the world can see
Maybe then they’ll see just what I see
And then take it on their way
With hopes that they will share a smile
And make better someone’s day
Now the sun has set, children tucked
With a kiss I gave to fall asleep
Standing at the door I see my wife
And I feel the love she gave to keep
I thank you Lord for all I have
For always seeing my family through
Because I know I couldn’t do this alone
That’s why I put my faith in You
God, You’re there… I see you
In the blue that reigns up in the sky
On the breath of clouds that float on by
The image of the homeless man
Who still offers up his time
As he asks not for, without doing first
So I give water to quench his thirst
To the flowers that grow in the park
And the trees that children climb
God, You’re there… I see you

To my best friend, JAM… I know you’re tired and your soul is weary; twenty three hours
Of each day you’re alone and in that cell. But be strong and know that you’re really not alone
If you could only look at it, this way..alone, away from the others, you are safe..away from
Deeper trouble..soon you’ll be going home. Although my heart is heavy,
I am sure your cross is far heavier than mine. I tried to find a song that would tell you that
you are loved and I chose this Please read these words to this song,
“I’ll stand By You” by The Pretenders
Written by HYNDE, CHRISSIE/KELLY, TOMSTEINBERG, William E/
They don’t play it often on radio stations anymore, so I’m posting the lyrics instead.
Oh, why you look so sad, the tears are in your eyes
Come on and come to me now, and don’t be ashamed to cry
Let me see you through, ‘cause I’ve seen the dark side too
When the night falls on you, you don’t know what to do
Nothing you confess could make me love you less.
I’ll stand by you
I’ll stand by you, won’t let nobody hurt you
I’ll stand by you
So if you’re mad, get mad, don’t hold it all inside
Come on and talk to me now
Hey there, what you got to hide?
I get angry too, well, I’m a lot like you
When you’re standing at the cross roads
And you don’t know which path to choose
Let me come along, ‘cause even if your’re wrong
I’ll stand by you
I’ll stand by you
I’ll stand by you, won’t let nobody hurt you
I’ll stand by you
Even to your darkest hour, and I’ll never desert you
I’ll stand by you
And when, when the night falls on you, baby
You’re feeling all alone, you’re wandering on your own
I’ll stand by you…………

WHO ARE YOU TO SAY THAT IM SLOW.
WHO ARE YOU TO SAY THAT IM RETARED.
WHO ARE YOU TO SAY THAT I CAN'T READ.
WHO ARE YOU TO SAY THAT I CAN'T DO MATH OR COUNT
WHO ARE YOU.
WHO ARE YOU TO JUDGE ME
NOBODY ONLY GOD CAN JUDGE ME.
WHO ARE YOU TO TELL ME WHAT I CAN OR CAN'T DO.
WHO ARE YOU TO TELL ME WHAT MY FUTURE IS GOING TO BE.
WHO ARE YOU TO TELL ME WHAT I LOOK LIKE.
WHO ARE YOU TO TELL ME WHAT IM GOING TO BE OR BECOME
NOBODY.
WHO ARE YOU TO JUDGE ME
NOBODY ONLY GOD CAN JUDGE ME.

Trees and dirt I sleep on the earth, the dust the sand, longing to birth.
Oil on skin, bare,
sweat on your back,
feels amazing.
Yes! Im back on track.
Sleeping cosy as a worm,
unencumbered by any material possession or fixed term.
Free to explore, a magical universe,
I must implore.
No home, no chores, no bills to pay.
Just water, food gathered and warmth today.
A dusty cave, cute as a button, no slamming door,
just love in your belly, to the very core.
I love this realm,
just need more time,
time to explore.
Trees and dirt I sleep on the earth, the dust, the sand, longing to birth.
And return once again to mother earth.

Thy brother, strong, straight and true,
to the core, his blood flows, fast and through.
I love him dearly, ever since his birth,
what an incredible gift from mother Earth.
Mad as a cut snake, I'd hate to cross.
You did? You C@#T! Ha Ha, your loss.
Boxer and Biker, to the very core,
F@#$%n crazy Outlaw.
His heart is enormous, as big as Ayres Rock,
the man is solid, no muppet could knock.
F@#k yeah!
I love him to death,
till my last rattle of breath.
Not long now to go,
I will see him in time,
my brother, my brother,
dear friend of mine.

Escape the tort of our avarice world
Defy the ones who shift the blame
Deter the decadence forgetting shame
Freedom is on the top of the bare eyes
Beyond the consciousness of The Human Kind
Search harder and then you'll find
The Land of Sophia
Dwelling past are needs
Swirling around our bare minds
Our wants polluting out sight
the Land of Sophia is lost at night
Are the Lies held
worth it in time
Only embracing The Veil of Logic
The Truth is cast into shade
where all vices are soon to be made
For all of our dreams and dramaticies
The Destruction Star poisons seas
Far from This Galaxy
among the stars
I can see myself,
And The One I've became
Escape the tort of our avarice world
Defy the ones who shift the blame
Deter the decadence forgetting shame
Freedom is on the top of the bare eyes
Beyond the consciousness of The Human Kind
Search harder and then you'll find
The Land of Sophia
Dwelling past are needs
Swirling around our bare minds
Our wants polluting out sight
the Land of Sophia is lost at night
Caught in our lust,
of forgetting trust
I wonder can we break free
of bound forever in the clutches
of Lilith's Love
Eden's Heart
Who's desperate For Love
Who's desperate For Light
yet wallows in Blight
and chooses to wait--forevermore
The wait in Summer--An Eternity
Lilith's Love
Eden's Heart
Escape the tort of our avarice world
Defy the ones who shift the blame
Deter the decadence forgetting shame
Freedom is on the top of the bare eyes
Beyond the consciousness of The Human Kind
Search harder and then you'll find
The Land of Sophia
Dwelling past are needs
Swirling around our bare minds
Our wants polluting out sight
the Land of Sophia is lost at night
We don't chose what's right
I can't believe we are able to see this far
Crawling in Shadows
Never will breath find it's light
Escape the tort of our avarice world
Defy the ones who shift the blame
Deter the decadence forgetting shame
Freedom is on the top of the bare eyes
Beyond the consciousness of The Human Kind
Search harder and then you'll find
The Land of Sophia
Dwelling past are needs
Swirling around our bare minds
Our wants polluting out sight
the Land of Sophia is lost at night

I let you die for my name
As you reached for my hands
Out of waters of drowning
What a hypocrite this writer is
The Hatred of Solitude
Letting an orphan dream
Then destroy him with knowledge
Of what you have done
He opened up to you
In new ways
But in nostalgic guises
The springwinds whisper blithe yore
But the winterwinds, much stronger
Caress you with the dreams of your funeral sky
“It was you… it was your fault…
Letting the one who was so open to you
Be the laugh… the piece in the game…”

It's the third verse,
I got the urge to purge
All the curt words I've splurged,
I've submerged in sin,
I'll go to church repent,
Then go curse again,
Lets reverse this trend
We nurse tolerance,
When it might offend,
If I white wash my fence,
So try to not get tense,
When I do not defend,
Those who chose to be dense
And not use their two cents,
To show kids the reverence,
For the pledge of allegiance.

I have taken many passages on this journey called life,
They have lead me to gardens infected with pain hurt and strife,
I have walked down roads of roses paved with bitter thorns,
All to find out those temporary releases leave so many torn.
What does it profit a man if he gains the whole world but loses his infinite soul,
What is the point of owning everything when in the end our hearts are not whole,
Why do we work so hard for material gain yet neglect whose up above,
Many are superficial flowers, blowing in the wind, knowing nothing of true love.
I have run down dirt roads at night in the pouring rain,
Thinking this void would be complete if I could just whisper your sweet name,
I have cut through channels and canals just to get to your old home,
In all my efforts I have found myself left rejected and alone.
What does it profit a man if he gains the whole world but loses his infinite soul,
What is the point of owning everything when in the end our hearts are not whole,
Why do we work so hard for material gain yet neglect whose up above,
Many are superficial flowers, blowing in the wind, knowing nothing of true love.
Now I see before my very eyes the path that is actually straight,
The only one that leads me to eternal golden gates,
For the time I’ve wasted chasing dreams and idols in despair,
Left me with a burden that no one in this world could bare.
So I’ll lose the world to gain my soul,
And have my heart completely whole,
While opening my eyes to whats above,
embracing all his unconditional love,
And I'll smile when I see those gates,
The sweetest treasure I'll anticipate,
Since all we are is passing through,
I'll keep passing on until I reach what is true.

i don't wanna sit here
in the garden, without you
i don't want to be here
falling apart, waiting for you
cause i'm sick and tired
of existing here, without you dear
hanging onto nothing, hoping for something
we're not adam and eve
oh why can't you see
how much i need you
so hard to believe
yet cannot conceive
how much i love you
i won't say sorry
doesn't mean a damn thing
cause you don't love me
we can never be
i'm not gonna stand here
all evening, without a clue
i'm not gonna be here
sweetheart, bleeding just for you
cause i'm sick and tired
of burning here, without you dear
hanging onto nothing, hoping for something
we're not adam and eve

how much i need you
so hard to believe
yet cannot conceive
how much i love you
i won't say sorry

You belong to me mate ( Intro )
And that be that!
Get on board
And grab your hat!
The ship was aghast at its new passenger ( Verse )
Like disdain for the lives that they now left behind,
Newcomers were scarce
And they never would last
But I held up my chin nice and high.
The bloke who took me screamed ( Pre-chorus )
“Mop up the deck we’ve got things to do!”
But I said sir,
I’m just a boy and don’t know what’s to do.
And he said ( Chorus )
“Drifting mainly
Sailin the shores
Taking what’s mine
And leaving what’s yours
Cause you know, we ain’t dead yet.”
Taking the seas for more than eight moons
We found islands and loot
That was bigger than most.
The taste of sea air
With its wind in my hair
Took me away to this new life I lead.
After mopping the deck
He grabbed my hand and screamed
“Steer this ship boy!”
But I said sir,
I’m just a lad and don’t know where to go.
So the crew yelled ( Chorus )
“Drifting mainly
Sailin the shore
Taking what’s mine
And leaving what’s yours
Cause you know, we ain’t dead yet.”
Surprising to me
Was my unshaven face
The captain looked on
And smiled with grace,
We stopped at a place
Where the women were loose and didn’t mind
If we took a peak.
He said “Now you’re a man so let’s get on that boat,
We got places to be and some people to rope,
So grab that sword and drop that mop
Cause you’re no longer a boy in my eyes.”
I practiced the duel with the men in the crew
The captain took eye to my devilish pride,
And he took me aside and said
“Even in death I’m gonna miss you boy
But don’t let it strike you
Or kill your spirits
Cause even time can beat out the Grim.”
Then in the darkness came fire and screams,
Our vessel had stopped after fourteen years,
The crew fought hard and beat most of the men
But now, my Captain was dead.
We took the new ship watching ours sink deep
Saying goodbye to our drowning escape,
The crew turned towards me and asked
“What do we do?” and I smiled,
And they did to.
And we yelled ( Chorus )
“Drifting mainly
Sailin the shores
Takin what’s mine
And leaving what’s yours
Cause you know, we ain’t dead yet.”

There were many days when all was well
When hearts were pure and smiles swelled
I used to live in a shack down by the sea
I’ve seen the tears of joy at night
The radiance of stars so bright
It beauty melted the stony parts of me
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
There were many nights when I felt fright
When there was no one to be found in sight
But I had to keep on pushing, pressing on
And when I thought of the good old days
My only words became sweet praise
And the winds just whispered hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
I know there is a God above
Who healed me by his tender love
Though all I’ve ever known was pain and doubt
It’s not by might nor by my power
It’s by his spirit I sing this hour
A redemptive, thankful, glory hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
They say that people cannot change
But I know better, because I’m not the same
And since I did, well, really, what’s it to you
There is a word I now call victory
I only know it because I’ve been set free
The holy one deserves his hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah

Guitarra, I’m begging,express my heart
Pick away all that’s ever ached
Place these Spanish notes beautifully
To the angel of her face
Guitarra pleas, express this heart
Bring to life our last Latin nights
Dancing that flamenco from her charcoal eyes
Reviving fiesta under most romantic moonlight
Guitarra as now I gently play
Fingers within running throughts through ebony of her hair
“El espiritu de amor” is strumming along
Bringing back the yesterdays to here
Guitarra passion now is in the revival
As the ghost of love tangos all around
Milagros, I sense you near
And in this instrument forever you are found

I speak words, rawly, but
productively, Poetry Is the
Passion, I compose, with A
gleaming heart, that spins the
souls of others, vibrantly
shinning, among the rainbows,
Colorfully booming, Tenderly In
A jukebox, as my ego, grows
up the beanstalk, like sun-use,
Wisely owl, among expression to,
its knowledgeable ponder, for those
who listen, Do you hear, what I hear?
Do you see, what I see? Do you know,
what I know? Please take A step-
back, and listen chary to it
again, As I compose my lyrics,
down on A sheet of white
paper, for all the world to,
see, Hear, and know, because
We are worthy, in the eyes of
God...
Dedication to all SP "FAM"

She hugs Him tight on this frigid night,
Vedi Dolorosa Mater.( Latin meaning: I saw the most sorrowful mother.)
Some shepherds shout as the sky about
becomes angels to honor His Father.
CHORUS:
Sweet,sweet are his cheeks so meek
in whom rags enfold
and soon kings bring gold.
Sweet bliss reigns
as His Father deigns
for the One we proclaim through the ages.
The oxen snort as the world cavorts
they ignore all the hope He is bringing.
Yet even now, as the mule and cow
raise their eyes to the angels still singing.
CHORUS:
Kneel, kneel to this King and sing
of His precious love
sent from God above.
The world will know
in the swirling snow
of the One we proclaim through the ages.

Please reach out to me,
in front of you i stand
Faithfully
I, walk the
side lines,
day by day
night by night,
Waiting patiently
for you to come
rescue me.
Father....Im lookign to you
Show me the way, some how ive strayed
Father....Im reaching for you
Please take my hand and gide me through, this life
Youre like the
wind in a storm,
blowing every which way,
I know, youre with me
each step of
each day ,
Drownding in sorrows,
please minimize this pain,
Take me somewhere
far, away.
Please lead me by your hand
I'm waiting paitently for
your, promise land.
Father....Im lookign to you
Show me the way, some how ive strayed
Father....Im reaching for you
Please take my hand and gide me through, this life

He did not have to
It was not mandatory
But He did.
Leaving the luxury
Of His Father’s splendour
His home of indescribable
Beauty and grandeur
He peeped
He descended
He came down
To me
The living condition
In my habitation
Was one of discomfort and stench
Filled with broken promises,
Pains from the past,
Hopelessness for the future.
Yet He made up His mind about me
Unlike me-
He did not have second thoughts
About the weather,
The leaking pots
The rusty bath tub
The aged sofa
Or the things I had done
And had not done
He moved in with me
This Christmas
He promised me a love:
Never forsaking
Never dying
Never ending
Dear God,
If you are looking for Jesus this Christmas,
He moved in with me

Through the ups and downs, the ins and outs
As life encompasses me
I face trials and hurts, betrayals and doubts
But my heart rejoices in Thee
Though some problems can seem so triumphant
There are times when there's nowhere to flee
But I know that Your Light will always shine through
And my heart does rejoice in Thee
Through tears and pain; through heartaches and fear
Though darkness may be all we see
If Hell itself were to rise up to fight
Still - my heart would rejoice in Thee
For You suffered and bled; You took away our sins
And You did this so we could be free
It was the vision of joy that was set before You
Now my heart rejoices with Thee
For I know in my heart - You will always be there
Whatever the matter may be
Your Love does abound - and It never fails
So my heart will rejoice in Thee
Out of all the sounds in Nature heard
And the kingdoms on Earth that be -
I have heard no sound that is near as sweet
As my heart rejoicing with Thee!

As the autumn of life drifts in
The lights of my eyes grow dim
With the joy of my years
Still beside me here
There is not much that I will fear
As the winter of my life arrives
My voice will be just a whisper
With the joy of my salvation
Waiting for me at the station
I will in quiet adoration kneel
In my mind spring will beckon me
The baggage old and beat I'll leave
With the joy of my life just within sight
The constant yearning will cease
As perfect joy will become complete

Attempts at alteration of
My right to fully express
My own ideas and views
My liberty to address
Declarations and ideas
I happen to find crude
Imposing upon my spirit
And all too often rude
Formulation of my thoughts
On many different things
Echoes of imagination
Remnants of my being
Clear my views do remain
Unscathed by opposition
I firmly and relentlessly
Defend my true position
I do believe in liberty
To share what one believes
For a spirit and its speech
Forever should be free
~Camille Rose Castillo 2010

Inanimate emotion, of insufficient funds,
A stanza full of metaphors, and metaphorical puns
Living life holding a pen, an eraser is the only one to forgive,
A combination of lyrical rhymes, but where does it end?
Or does it end? Maybe the end is where it begins,
a vicious cycle, it's uncontrollable, like death dephying winds,
Where death and lying wins, and life on this planet doesn't exist,
So our imaginations are forced to pretend, that the elements around us are our friends
But I see things differently, I'm just a pathetic,
Prophetic kid, living in a notebook, trying to comprehend,
How to stay poetic, but it isn't what it seems
It's strange how closely my nightmares relate to my dreams
I've never done anything right, my whole life I've been living wrong,
Writing has always been my solution, it's a never ending hall
I'm externally torn, internally my soul has been reborn
My waredrobe is new, I got rid of the clothes that I wore
I'm untouchable, I'm nothing though, and I'll tell my story through
The Way That I Flow

Written October 7, 2012
My soul burns inside
And it comes comes out to hide
When its so shocked to hear
That the darkness is here
Would you believe in the words that I say
Even if they aren't diamonds and pearls
With a paper in front and a pen in my hand
I just want to change the world
Is it too much to ask
Too abstract to grasp
This idea that's been running
I promise there's good change coming
With a bullet and a gun
You'll get any man to run
But it takes diplomacy
To get a real man to see
Would you believe in the words that I say
Even if they aren't diamonds and pearls
With a paper in front and a pen in my hand
I could really change the world
Is it too hard to be
The man I want to see
When I look in the mirror
Lord I pray it was clearer
With a permanent marker
I color in darker
The world that I see
Ain't what it should be
Would you believe in the words that I say
Even if they aren't diamonds and pearls
With a paper in front and a pen in my hand
I am going to change the world

"I Want You - My Reply"
I want you to stay
and show me your face,
I want you to go out
and lose your shell for me.
Tell me what my hug means to you
Tell me what you think when I kiss you.
'Coz I want you, I need you
and won't make you unhappy just like before.
'Coz I love you, I tell you
Don't think you're not good enough for me.
I am your fantasy
I'm not letting you fall apart
When we talk I can see
I can feel, you are interesting.
When you say that you love me
and tell me almost everything
I will not break your heart
that's a guarantee.
'Coz I want you, I need you
and won't make you unhappy just like before.
'Coz I love you, I tell you
Never think you're not good eough for me.
You can tell me all your dreams
I will understand
You must open up to me
If you will, I'll never misunderstood.
'Coz I want you, I need you
and won't make you unhappy just like before.
'Coz I love you, I tell you
You are just good enough for me.
(original Song Lyric written by Mike Peralta -USA_
"She Wants Me"
all credits given to him

To Bethlehem a virgin came--
A pilgrim and a stranger,
'Twas here she bore a baby boy,
And laid Him in a manger.
While shepherds watched their flocks by night,
In nearby fields abiding,
A host of the Heaven's angels came,
To sing the wondrous tidings.
The wise men followed, long and far,
God's guiding star before them.
They knelt before the newborn king
To worship and adore Him.
Mary's baby, sweet and mild,
The long awaited Christ child.
She called his name Immanuel--
God is with us; all is well.

After the Casket Falls
After your soul is called
After your final breathe is drawn
I'll meet you again
After the Casket Falls
After your soul is called
After your final breathe is drawn
I'll meet you again
After the Casket Falls
After your soul is called
After your final breathe is drawn
I'll meet you again
I'll See your face again
I swear it
No matter how far away they take you from me
Fading, Going Away, Don't be so afraid
Death is a Dream
The Cross Will Be lighter
Whisper the words
so sacred, so somber
After the Casket Falls
After your soul is called
After your final breathe is drawn
I'll meet you again
After the Casket Falls
After your soul is called
After your final breathe is drawn
I'll meet you again
After the Casket Falls
After your soul is called
After your final breathe is drawn
I'll meet you again
A Fallen Angel looms over the lifeless stone
What Happened here must be true
I must live this life without you
Breaking the Silence
She began to Weep
The Epitaph ceasing to know
We all must Return To Dust
After the Casket Falls
After your soul is called
After your final breathe is drawn
I'll meet you again
After the Casket Falls
After your soul is called
After your final breathe is drawn
I'll meet you again
After the Casket Falls
After your soul is called
After your final breathe is drawn
I'll meet you again
The solitude is euphoric as an illusional clock
Of argentine fears swallow the last soul
Goodnight black rose of eternity
Goodnight dearest gothic phantom
Tonight The Earth consumes me

Where are all the people?
There is always something to be scared of.
I just wished everyone will please stop fighting,
And listen to everyone sing.
Everyone needs a little love.
Some people need the shove,
The confidence to show people what you're made of.
People won't you listen?
Hearing things like,
Maybe you should kill yourself.
Instead of asking for a little help.
See all these people crying?
They need to all start flying.
I wish everyone will please stop fighting,
And let the people sing.
If you need someone to talk to,
Let's be right here for you.
If you need a shoulder to cry on,
We'll sit and try a little flan.
We need to stop and think of all the uncommon people.
Think of all of them you don't know.
The ones who don't like to show.
The ones that'll really glow.
People won't you listen?
Hearing things like,
Maybe you should kill yourself.
Instead of asking for a little help.
See all these people crying?
They need to all start flying.
I wish everyone will please stop fighting,
And let the people sing.

INCOMPLETE

Through roaming hills, and blistering winds
my spirit lay somewhere between.
Oh someone point him out to me,
I desire to hear my soul sing
For at first he left, I did not notice
my emotions to mangled in muck
but I feel my heart fall short
and my body just want to give up
I call to him through the wind in the night
but no reply is heard in the breeze.
I shout his name from dawn to dusk
But only a echo replies in the trees
Forgive me! I cry, I desire you now
that my heart is darken and numb.
For I gladly give up this emotionless feast
to live my life wondering the streets
forsaking the world and all of its treats
to live with my spirit as a bum

New place, New life
Livin' it up and havin a good time.
No more rules, No more excuses,
No more bull, and no more losin'.
It's time to start over now, New job, New friends,
Time to party it up until the end.
Gotta get it right, New place new life.
Let nothing hold you back, and get your life on track.
New place, New life
Livin' it up and havin a good time.
Live it up to the fullest,
Have a blast and enjoy it.
It comes and goes so fast, like a dream
So hard to believe that it's reality.
No more rules, No more excuses,
No more bull, and no more losin'.
It's time to start over now, New job, New friends,
Time to party it up until the end.
Life is short don't ya know?
Now its time to go with the flow.
Cuz it's a New place, New life
Livin' it up and havin a good time.

[A tribute I wrote/rapped after I graduated high school]
i took a bittersweet look into the past
flipping it and watching each grain fall back down that hourglass
wish this hour could last, but what's a little sand?
just a piece of dust falling through the cracks in my hand
but matrimony bonds memories with eternity
and the passion i had for my comrades still burns in me
but it's my turn to fade out, like the first tags i put up on walls
bearing witness to styles getting played out
i spent three years in this one spot just to be forgot?
along with chemistry study sheets, just shut and locked
in that box that was like a home away from home
where an apparent wealth of knowledge was bound to be grown...
with closed eyes, lids like mirrors envision my soul, my mind
so divine was each one of you that walked into my life
i got love for you even if we might
not talk anymore, you inspired me to explore
so i guess this one's for you
cuz i met a lot of false characters, but y'all stayed true
and that's more than a guy could ask for, honestly
respect given from me only comes modestly
because respectable people are somewhat of a novelty
in this life, travelling throught it like the odyssey
i'm just a nomad with a notepad, a quote "grad"
an alum from some fantasty in the midst of an era so sad
but to friends who still have dreams, quench your thirst to succeed
never let laymen corrupt that seed
let it blossom with the efforvescence
i know it takes effort but isnt that the essence?
gotta give blessings to brothers who imparted the wisdom
and found the courage to release the truth from within them
i cherish your thoughts, and with them i'm never lost
keep your words locked and that's something i'll never cross
if this sounds pretentious, i'm sorry dude
but i was told that a faithful heart makes wishes come true
so i feel a last little push from me couldn't hurt
here you go my friends, and i truly hope it works
until we meet again, it's really been a blast
always remember the times we had, hourglass.

My eyes
Witness your departure
My eyes
Are dripping with hopelessness…
My eyes start to blur…
Melancholy put me under pressure…
Is there a cure to my disease?
You don’t see
The shards of hope that once brought us back together
Just let me search for safety
I’m strong enough to realize that I’m no longer
The weakest prey out there…
And I’m left in my solitude…
Do you hear me whimpering like a distraught puppy left on the train tracks?
I’m close to my demise…save me and take me home
Nourish me…and be my beloved friend
Will this friendship last forever?
Hopefully it has no end
Will this cheerful moment help us get along with each other?
Because of you…I feel the need to run
I keep an eye on you – I worry that you’ll hurt yourself again
Because of you…My freedom is nearly gone
I don’t wanna be caught off guard again
Because of you…EYE can’t picture a solution for our vexing dilemma
Because of you…eye can’t focus on my long-term goal
And I’m left in my solitude…
Do you sense that I’m giving in to failure?
And I’m close to my demise…
Only to find myself disappear…I can’t endure
The hardships that you place upon me…
Could you boost up my confidence to overcome
My atrocious anxiety?
I’m just waiting for some sun
To keep me in good hands…
To strengthen me with perseverance …
I’m just waiting until His son
Leads the world outtah Egypt and reveals to us…
His radiance…His dazzling Kingdom –
Vibrant with glee
Your undying sympathy dawns upon us
I’m overflowing with indescribable joy
You’re a candle in the night…
We meet eye to eye…
What a sight…what a precious sight

I've been beat up
I've been knocked down
No matter what happens
I'm still standing on
solid ground
I've been passed over
I've been stepped on
No matter what happens
I still have faith
I continue to stand tall
and strong
I've been lifted up
only to let down
No matter what happens
I don't stand alone
Jesus is standing with me
I see His footprints next to mine
He is the reason why
I'm still standing
strong and proud
Rosalyn

Don’t let yourself start thinking
That darkness is all you are
You feel trapped without with colour
You don’t want to feel these scars
Open up the windows
Let in the light
Free yourself from darkness
Brighten up the night
In this world of colour
There’s always a hidden darkness
Black and white and grey
Take their chance to come and play
But in this world with darkness
The colour will shine through
It will bring out the colourful in you
Yes it will bring out the colourful in you
Don’t let yourself start thinking
You aren’t worthy of the light
You listen too much to others
Who speak purely out of spite
Don’t trap yourself in the dark
You will only get cold
Its time to stop hearing
All that you’ve been told
In this world of colour
There’s always a hidden darkness
Black and white and grey
Take their chance to come and play
But in this world with darkness
The colour will shine through
It will bring out the colourful in you
Yes it will bring out the colourful in you

I recall now the days
when forever seemed but a short time
The visits to the hospital,
brought sad images to your mind
She lay on a bed, cords all around her,
no hair upon her head
The cancer drove us crazy
with worry tears and fright
She was only a baby,
I didn't get the chance to say goodbye
Farewell until we meet again
where you'll be waiting...
waiting for tomorrow to come again.
What if tomorrow never comes?
How will I face the rising sun,
when the moon is the only thing I can see?
I need her here with me...
The only loss I've ever known
The only time that I've
experienced this kind of sorrow...
So what if tomorrow never comes?
What if tomorrow never comes.
And now I lie here thinking it through,
memories flash through my head,
memories of you
Moments of a bittersweet time
Reminiscing the days when you were mine
The days when you were alive
The tears come back to my eyes
I feel the need to cry but nothing slides out
I need to scream and shout,
My emotions pour out as one, silently
So what if tomorrow never comes?
Reality in death is so hard to accept,
I need my tomorrow to come... What if it never does?
What if tomorrow never comes?
How will I face the rising sun,
when the moon is the only thing I can see?
I need her here with me...
The only loss I've ever known
The only time that I've
experienced this kind of sorrow...
So what if tomorrow never comes?
What if tomorrow never comes.
Will tomorrow ever come?
I just want to be awake
when the moon becomes the sun
I'm waiting here for you,
in the darkness of the night.
I wait still for you,
forever the images will haunt my mind
Tomorrow will come
I'll soon be alright
Tomorrow will come...
Tomorrow has come...
I can now see the sun.

Love's Lofty Height
by
Ingrid Showalter Swift
A lofty height
A soft kiss
sweet butter lips
and the scruff
O lament at the wall of tears with me ...
Take not the hand of sweet liberty
O my sweet earnest soul…be still and vacuous as the sea as it glows
………..it takes no hostage with intent
Be glad as the bee as it goes
Pollen is its heart’s content
Be wild as the leaves on the trees ripping and dipping
flying and soaring and beneath it all
as snow coated ice field ….be still my beloved love
Know the peace of grass
of the stone on the side of a hill
feel the movement in the feathers of a hawk as they flicker through the dive of air
Be as the cloud sees the world up and down and in and out it goes and asks not for understanding of all it sees
Be as the crumpled piece of paper with words that might have changed the world
a ball sitting at the bottom of the ash can with the chewed gum that does not argue that it be taken
Be as the birth of a fawn in the wilderness asking nothing but to stand for the first time and quiver a new
Be new in you …my beloved
because you
having given birth to us... have set me free

"God Made the World" is a children's song, sung to the tune of "Row, Row, Row Your
Boat".
God made, made, made the world-
He made it in six days.
He made people and plants and animals, too,
And we should give Him praise!
Bonus activities: Help children look up and read Genesis 1:1-31 in a bible, which tells
the story of creation.
Have children think of three favorite plants, flowers or trees, three favorite animals
and three favorite people and say or write down their answers. Remind them that
God created their "favorite things".

See the hope of tomorrow
This is the star that lights the way
Together we will change the future
A brave new world, a brand new day
Through the fire one mans vision
Will touch the soul and set you free
Just turn your faces to the heavens
It’s burning bright for all to see
Golden Star (Repeat x4)
Our journey now is just beginning
A dream awaits on distant shores
Fill your heart with new conviction
Let’s build a world worth fighting for
Golden Star (Repeat x4)

Baby lets take that drive today.
Its the right time to get away.
Lets go to that same old spot
that we both know so well.
Its there. The sun
is always warm and nice.
And the river runs so cool,
always flowing thru our minds.
Love is in the air tonight.
This time, this time that we share.
Being here, being here without a care.
Love is in the air tonight.
When we're here we feel free.
So plentiful, just you and me.
We know its here for sure.
We'll make love all thru the night.
Love is in the air tonight.
Holding hands below the stars.
Below the stars, we begin to dance.
And we'll dance all thru the night.
Love is in the air tonight.
We'll sleep all day,
just to wake all night.
To wake and love and dance.
Under stars again,
love in the air to share.
Another night again,
always hand and hand.
Love is in the air tonight.

[The Cypress Is In Bloom]
The cypress is in bloom
I see the evil, the efflorescence of decadent doom
Eloigning, with thy clandestines of the Dead September's reign
My belovéd Penelope, abscond from the coven so deep, the glades of misery
We must face her in the grove, for arcany, the path we must take
She's in my mind, vaporously,
Lauding with my, dangers and fears
Lie, with ephermelcy's broken truths
Leading me go Cypress, Marigold
Immortally, willows, forevermore
Forevermore
[To Question; To Know]
My argentine silence, your only condonicy
Ends with such eath
The Mockingbird in me--died
Resting in one ounce, an abundance of shame
With an infinity of joy
Exiled, by the ones, who give all, names
My breath starves for only more
The façade, the veil, the austerity dims with Aquarianlore
She falls to her knees, why for?
Celandine she will be
Celandine is she
[Bead]
The lair within, free from their causalities of their sins
Shadowy primroses begin to grow, the season will never end
In there I dream to be like you, violet blue, White Flower of Lisieux,
La Fleur Blanche du Lisieux,
So Celandine are you
Celandine are you
[Draconian]
Draconian--Reach for the shadows within
Draconian--Break from The Fallen's Sin
Draconian--Their Empirical lies, only die
Draconian--Reach The Shadows Within

Oh how can one capture
Your beauty on paper
Without you evaporating
Off as it is your nature
The stars are your jewels
The moon is your crest
Everyone drools
As if blessed
Your silence is serenity
That whisper to my thoughts
An overwhelming beauty
That ties my stomach up in knots
How humble I am sound
A beauty incomparable
With a radiance so profound
Your absence is unbearable

how can we pretend that everything is okay
when the world is soon to turn to grey
I've took this life and its treasures in vane
when you'd easily trade with me any day
you're amazing better than grace
so amazing just can't turn the page
amazing can't find the strength
to gaze at your face and not look away
look what we've done, coming undone
slowly fading away, so amazing
better than grace
you say they gave you less than six months
never thought it could hurt this much
I'd give anything just to save you
oh what can i do, just say because
you're amazing better than grace
so amazing just can't turn the page
amazing can't find the strength
to gaze at your face and not look away
look what we've done, coming undone
slowly fading away, so amazing
better than grace
with every breath we take, just another test today
don't walk away before it's too late
we should all be ashamed of ourselves because
he's amazing better than grace
so amazing just can't turn the page
amazing can't find the strength
to gaze at your face and not look away
look what we've done, coming undone
slowly fading away, so amazing
better than grace

I strolled through my old stomping grounds
saw a childhood friend gave him a hug and a pound
over two beers we sat down
dam its been so long since we crossed paths
flashbacks they brought both tears and laughs
we poured beer on the grass
for our peers that passed
that's the way we show sorrow
teardrops from a bottle
it's so hard to say goodbye to yesterday but ironically for some
its even worse to face tomorrow
when it's filled with hopelessness and dreams deferred
at times the line between good and bad became blurred
life moves in cycles I observe this truth
watching these young cats re-enact scenes from my youth
as the clash with the system
and dare the world to dis them
until they go to prison
or become homicide victims
i borrow some ears trying to insert something healthy
but I recognize that look.
its the same one I use to give the ones that tried to tell me
I just wouldn't listen
now he's given me that same resistance
its a shame that ignorance
makes us flee from knowledge
wont accept WhATS harmless
content when we're acting moronic
or spewing garbage
isn't it ironic we crave money to save us
in actuality its the very thing that enslaves us
its like the streets are the new plantation
a generation lost produces lost generations
with lack of love and over abundance of anger
causes agents of death to leap from barrels once released from chambers
has the worl gone crazy
mother in the church screaming thats my baby lord take me
makes we wanna holler,kick or yell or something
cause they don't understand I'm simply trying to tell them something

Butterflies quietly fluttering In my soul
Transforming my life
Morphing into something so unreal
So Different, silently beautiful
So hidden and lost
A fire dances on my pale iced face
Lively prancing as each sheds more light
The embers glow in your singed shadow
Was this eternity meant to last forever?
I couldn't believe that a simple flap of butterfly wings could cause such a storm,
a storm in my mind
The simplest things causing the greatest of pains
Why cant I be one of them
Forever and free
I'll be with my dream of liberty
Punishing the dead
Can you never let anything go
Is it all to hard to see
That your bias takes you on a blinded delusion
Where all they plunder is hate
Terror is a virtue
When becoming a king
So cut off the strings of my life
With your power
And you will see the strength of the dream of Liberty
I couldn't believe that a simple flap of butterfly wings could cause such a storm,
a storm in my mind
The simplest things causing the greatest of pains
Why cant I be one of them
Forever and free
I'll be with my dream of liberty
I couldn't believe that a simple flap of butterfly wings could cause such a storm,
a storm in my mind
The simplest things causing the greatest of pains
Why cant I be one of them
Forever and free
I'll be with my dream of liberty

We walk through the doorway, heard you calling from the hall
To find you in the bedroom not breathing at all
I drag your body to the cellar where we lay,
the wax it melts away,
I kiss your face...
Now we are starting to love you more,
your body's on the canvas,
That I painted on the floor
Now you wait,
like the drug,
like the change in the pain it goes on for so long
And oh,
now it hurts in the worst way,
now that you're gone,
its so wrong,
its so wrong....
If I could take you somewhere,
I'd take you to my darkest place,
scatter you in art forms, admire the whore,
beauty in different ways your hands on picture frames,
your eyes in the glass wear your face as a mask
Now they are starting to love you more,
a gallery of your beauty no charge at the door
As you wait,
like the drug,
like the change in the pain it goes on for so long
And oh,
now it hurts in the worst way,
now that your gone,
it's so wrong,
it's so wrong....
And down below your veins run dry your vacant eyes,
I lost control your face is pale,
your body's cold
And down below your veins run dry your vacant eyes,
I lost control your face is pale,
your body's cold
(face is pale your body's cold )
Wait, like the drug,
like the change in the pain it goes on for so long
And oh, now it hurts in the worst way,
now that your gone,
it's so wrong,
it's so wrong...

A beautiful friend of mine said to me,
"Children, the elderly, bugs
And the most unwanted
Are the people I attract."
I told her
That the most unwanted
wants the most wanted.
Bugs are attracted to light,
And the elderly seek
A fountain of youth.
Children look up to those
Who are big in heart,
And even the beautiful
Want to be complimented
With more beauty.
So, this was her appeal
Which would attract
The whole world to her,
Even the most wanted.

Your lookin over burnin' knuckles into the road,
There it goes,
But you don't even know your destination so,
With a shake of your head,
On goes the trip,
And a whispered three words,
This isn't it.
Guided by a light,
Of thirty or fourty feet,
But your being driven by a heart,
That has forgotten how to beat.
Oh No,
Here we go,
Another mile turns into another night,
Another day to drive right outta sight,
Ohhh it's a rollercoaster horror ride.
When looking over burning knuckles into the road,
Oh it's a roller coaster horror ride,
Lookin over burnin' knuckles into the road,
Your lookin over burnin' knuckles into the road,
An' there it goes,
But you don't even know destination so,
With a shake of your head,
On goes the trip,
And a whispered three words,
This isn't it.
On it goes_ this isn't it,
On it goes_ this isn't it,
Your trip_ Into the unknown,
While lookin over burnin' knuckles into the road,
And guided by a light,
An' a heart_ that has forgotten how to beat.
Your lookin over burnin' knuckles into the road,
Strainin eye's on a light that guides,
Our way through what we dont know.
Ohh it's a rollercoaster horror ride,
Being guided by the lonely nights,
While lookin over,
Burnin' knuckles,
Into the road.

I heard an Angel today
I heard an Angel today
I heard an Angel say
Close your eyes to wish your worries away
“Listen to your heart”
Where there is always the strongest of truth
Believe in this heart in its spirit
In its belief on what to do
I heard an Angel today
Sing to me this hope filled tune
This hope filled tune of bright filled days
Along with brighter smiles to chase the gray away
My soul now up lifted, and feeling so free
I feel recharged, singing this tune in gleeI heard an Angel today
Grateful I am for being graced by this Angel
Lucky I am for being so loved by so many
Hopeful I am to share my appreciation
To never forget the joy and fragile love from family
To never forget my many lessons learned
To never forget, never again
I heard an Angel today
With a shockingly familiar tune
A tune of peace and harmony
A tune from me to you
One with love and very little greed
Is my special tune you may play
Any time you need.

He sleeps there in a stable
The babe born to the world
Both mother, father watch with care
Though swaddled in a cloth
He is born, yet, to be king
With but just rags for Him to wear
This special morning
The sun now shines bright
From stars there in the Heavens
To the rise of morning light
The world now is much brighter
As angels, too, now play
There’s hope and happiness to share
Upon this Christmas Day
For within the early morning
Angels brought the sky a voice
Calling forth those who wish to hear
Along then, came all others
Knowing truth within their hearts
That all now have nothing to fear
This special morning
The sun now shines bright
From stars there in the Heavens
To the rise of morning light
The world now is much brighter
As angels, too, now play
There’s hope and happiness to share
Upon this Christmas Day
Go forth and tell all others
Who had no chance to hear
The news of hope and of the joy
Let them know the Gift of God
That comes to save us all
His son sent as this little boy
This special morning
The sun now shines bright
From stars there in the Heavens
To the rise of morning light
The world now is much brighter
As angels, too, now play
There’s hope and happiness to share
Upon this Christmas Day

scarred tissue
i don't miss you
i don't wish you
were the better of me
i don't care much
for surveillance
but it tempts me
to burn out inside
everybody's lying
scarred tissue
i really miss you
i really wish you
had got the better of me
you see, i need that bad beat sometimes
'cause everybody's fine
yeah, everybody's fine
that's what on my mind
For even Elvis reigning in his castle
sometimes lost battles, immortalized
forever tell the stories of the glories
of mighty Aphrodite
the most beautiful sin in existence
bright was her smile
all while the while
evil stirred grinning
storm clouds
castles in the sky
castles in the sky
made for you and I
grand castles in the sky
sometimes re-invent your self
just for indulgence
stray from the normal path
for it was one of a kind
but I'm already under influenced
sometimes a knowledgeable bright shining star
fades away into the darkness
shall come back in rebirth
I know it sounds tragic
but that's what I heard
every bird has wings
wings to fly away
any chosen day
into my dismay
a beautiful array
wings to start a new
inner strength attitude
because I'm in stride with you
on another level soon
a game worth winning is the reason we play
life can be desperate at times
but I find its beauty truly basking
in the sunlight of midday
so as I wave
before a wave
washes me to the shore I seek
every day has been worth the while
for the while stays wildly embedded
in uniquely threaded
scarred tissue

It’s at that special time of year
The feeling of love fills the air
Celebration festive lights and good cheer
Santa Clause ringing bells and reindeer
Turkey Dinners and vegetable beef stew
apple pies and sweet potatoes too.
Children laughing in delight
A tree that represents the life
Christmas time is almost here
At Mid-night tonight magic holds the world near
Christmas time is almost here
' round the world an-tic-i-pation in the atmosphere
reflection of the moon as a guiding light
A star that stands proud through the night
A gentle flurry covers Streets white
Listen closely angles singing ‘bout JC tonight
On the twenty fifth of December
It’s a birthday to remember
Bow your heads honor and reflect
Forgiveness and humility lead to thanks and respect
With a simple message believe in me
Open your hearts to be free
Release the fear and doubt
In the name of the king Merry Christmas
Christmas time is almost here
At Mid-night tonight magic holds the world near
Christmas time is almost here
Around the world anticipation in the atmosphere

when I look into your eyez
I see love still there inside
and I want to be that one
to make it sunny when it rains
yet I want to be that girl
to step into your world
but first you gotta let me in
into your heart
and I promise you
I wont split it apart
when I look into ur eyez
I see love still there inside
I wanna make u laugh
when u cry
i wanna make u happy
when ur sad
I wanna start brandnew
and erase ur past
I wanna be the best
you neva had
so when I look into ur eyes
I see love still there inside

You do not know what I see
I see you crying next to me
I see your pain, I see your tears
Through your laughs, and through the years
Past your mask I see your face
You are hiding in this place
Trust in me, I won't let you fall
You don't have to hide at all
Open up what's in your heart
That is the place I will start
Open up your eyes and see
All that's left is you and me
In the end you'll see the light
Come on, I don't want to fight
Together we will make it through
Come on. Now, It's me and you
Now you can start to feel
How much this love is true and real
behind your eyes you keep your pain
It's all locked up in your brain
Come on. Now, just let it out
It's okay to scream and shout
I will help you through and through
I will always be with you

There’s a special place not to far - you know
A special place where we all can go
A place where dreams run as free as our mind
A place where we stop the happiest of times
To live our fullest at being who we are
To share and listen in each others beliefs of who we are.
To be happy being who we are
In a land of Christmas dreams
Is a special place for you and me
Somewhere to go and always see
How truly life can really be
Listen to our loved ones how we want to be heard
Understanding completely with out stating a word
Where giving is a pleasure with a hug and a kiss
Open minds and hearts and feelings as this
In a land of Christmas dreams
In a land of Christmas dreams
Is a special place for you and me
Somewhere to go and always see
How truly life can really be
For this beauty of freedom and dreams
Every night stares at you in your sleep
This giving and caring is special indeed
This giving and caring is shared between you and me
Expressing our gracious love for our friends and family
Always supporting our love and devotion
Being there for each other through times thick and thin
Always to return strong in message of the truth within
In this land of Christmas dreams
All of it’s beauty of freedom sings
Every night sings to you in your sleep
This giving and caring is special indeed
For this giving and caring of Christmas dreams
Is all behind the spirit of you and of me.

Mr Wise Man, show me the way
I can't keep walking into walls all day
Quitting jobs wasn't easy but the reasons we're wrong
I felt like I was feeding King Kong
Left my life to help those that need it
Got mistreated, left, all to repeat it
The lessons are eternal they won't ever change,
That's your gift to me so that I won't be deranged.
So now that I have gotten better please give me my strength
My life is something that is losing it's length.
Mr Wise Man, show me the way
I can't keep walking into walls all day
Tolerance has always been my strongest feature,
Made me forget about every evil creature.
Test my limits all you want, I know it's vital
That is all a case of survival.
I don't know why I just keep trying
In the end I know I'll be dying.
My faith has been put to test
A test that will put me to rest
All the worlds I've been to
All the places I've gone through
Every single man woman and child
Every single one would make another mild
Stronger than the rest
This should make me the best
Or maybe it's best I don't know
Maybe it's best I just go
So Mr Wise Man, don't show me the way
I can't keep walking into walls all day
I'll walk my own path

If it's not one thing then it's another.
I'm either fighting with my dad or hearing screams from my mother.
My girlfriend doesn't trust me. I can't pay for therapy.
I can't do this all alone. I get down on my knees.
I ask the lord for forgiveness, right before I begin.
Although he is a forgiving God, how could he look upon sin?
Prayer is so simple even a child can start.
It's not all imagination, your faith must come from the heart.
It's all so real, the thrill you feel, the chill that's going through you.
You no longer fear it, the holy spirit starts showing and glowing, it's true.
Who knew that you, that tough guy? The one that wouldn't believe?
Then why are you always calling out for him when your unable to achieve?
He's always there to help us. Stand out and give it a try.
The Closer you get to God you'll see this isn't a lie.
Thank you, Jesus! Praise Jesus! Halliugha! Oh Lord!
I can never lose a battle using you as a sword!
Life here is too short, yesterday is already gone.
Knowing where you'll spend eternity will help keep you moving on.
Praise God!

I can't believe...that it's all gone
Some people I know, they've wandered on
Some have stayed,
While some have gone
I don't even know
But I go
Forward
Looking for tomorrow
I'm looking for tomorrow
And in this time, when money's scarce
I can't decide which is worst
Whether I miss bills
Or miss my kids
I don't even know
But I go
Forward
Looking for tomorrow
I'm looking for tomorrow
I'm looking for tomorrow
We're all looking for tomorrow
Maybe tomorrow will see us through
Until then, what else can I do?
I'm looking for tomorrow
Yeah, working for tomorrow
We're all looking for tomorrow
Looking for tomorrow

How quickly we forget
Dreams come true yes they do
Just believe make a wish
No matter who you are
Watch n see talk to that star
Remember wishes are free
Just ask the children
Laughing and playing
Make a wish
Angels singing happily
Make a wish
Sprinkling magic all round
Watch a miracle take place
A prayer for your neighbor
A kiss for mom n dad
Wishes come true
Make a wish
Just believe
Make a wish
Just believe
And seal it with heaven above

Why do I chase the atom?
when the universe has always been mine.
Can love evolve from red giant
into a galaxy?
Dust and stone
become skin and bone,
born; fall and rise again.
I love the black holes
of your eyes
for they radiate
much more light
than they could ever take.
White hot coals made to rake
caked surface of my lungs.
How I long to see your breath
steam up the silence in my soul.
Droplets, turn into rapids
and rush my question away.
I tripped; stumbling
my spirit crumbling.
Hold; release those fingers.
Strength born of sugar
does not last, and it feeds fear
I need complex and organic
Can rotten become fresh?
Carry the inner babe
Cain and brother Abe.
Save: heal the tether.

Let the words I speak
Be unto you
Let the one I seek
Be only you
And let my heart beat
Beat for you
And let my soul
Burn for you
Til I'm consumed
Until I'm consumed
.
Won't you take all of me
Until your image in me
is all you see
But You won't take what I won't give
And my sin won't die until You live
Inside of me
I feel I'm hangin by a thread
This old man just isn't dead
I keep reviving him instead of trusting You
.
So Let the words I speak
Be unto you
Let the one I seek
Be only you
And let my heart beat
Beat for you
And let my soul
Burn for you
Til I'm consumed
Until I'm consumed
.
And when my day comes
To an end
And I look back at where I have been
Many roads I've traveled
Sure took a wrong turn now and then
I need You just as much right now, as I did back then
.
So Let the words I speak
Be unto you
Let the one I seek
Be only you
And let my heart beat
Beat for you
And let my soul
Burn for you
Til I'm consumed
Until I'm consumed
.
Let there never be a doubt
That You changed me from the inside out
It was only You all along
I could never be that strong
On my own
.
Let the words I speak
Be unto you
Let the one I seek
Be only you
And let my heart beat
Beat for you
And let my soul
Burn for you
Til I'm consumed
Until I'm consumed
Until everything in me
Looks just like You

My heart is beating with upbeat delight
You astound me…in every shape and form
My spirit is dancing with unbreakable might
You surprise me…when you take my hand
And pull me outtah my jail-like dorm
And He dismisses me from my solitude…
My eyes are glistening with bliss…
And I’m far from my demise…
Only to find that there’s no need to feel helpless
Why do you spoil me rotten with your fatherly affection?
Just protect me from any harm
Let me make my own decisions…
To see the results in the long run
You prize me as if I’m cherished like your carefree child
You don’t understand – I’m TOO foolish and wild
I haven’t even reached to full maturity
But how eye hope to see myself grow and be set free
From the world’s mayhem
Is there a solution to this problem?
And I’m left with no answer…
My eyes are eager to see…another bright day
And the night is coming to haunt me…
I find myself slowly disappearing from sight…
When will God give me a purpose to fight?
When will He feed me His awesome might?
Just support me…especially during my downfalls
Please answer my calls!
And I’m left to venture off into His path…
Eye can’t escape my terrible nightmares
Consider my calls of acceptance…my grief weighs a ton
Let me pour forth my tears –
Do me a favor and cast away my fears
Steer me away from disorder and confusion
Eye can see you’re making great progress
You’re heading towards a brighter, superb future…
My eyes
No longer witness oblivion
My eyes
Looks beyond the earthly pain…
bEyOnD the affliction
I spot a rope in the distance. . . . .
Push aside the waves…and let me
Grab it this instant!
God feeds me His love…and treats me
Like a newborn infant!
Eye see my Father with brand-new eyes
I feel rare content
And I feel hardly any resentment
Eye
cherish
that
REMARKABLE
moment

Skies are Blue
Trees are green
I keep on walking round that redwood tree,
I keep on walking around that redwood tree.
I've been walking
For days on end
And I still can't see
The light again.
So I'll keep on walking round that redwood tree,
I'll keep on walking round that redwood tree
I've kept on walking
till I met you
With sea blue eyes
A pretty smile, too.
So no more walking
Round that red wood tree
No more walking down that redwood tree.

My dreams are falling apart
In Your hands, I pray (for joy), "Take heart!"
You are the stars - searing my
Soul is kneeling to the ground
Trace my future and take wing
Towards the pathway...You find peace
You are an angel in my--
Heart is bleeding soundlessly
Above land...I mourn so sweet
I am the clouds - carrying a
Gallon of grief...release me!
Place me in fields of love and
Forgive me and lift me up
You are the heavens to my--
Heart is beating profoundly
Without Your heart's joyous song
You are the sun - nourishing
My lambs are grazing around,
Roving in fields of splendor,
Enlightening the darkness
You are an apple to my--
Eye is grieving...losing sight
Of Your glory...I feel lost
You are the lake - sparkling with
Delight and Luck! Bring us home!
Grow like a morning glory
In the autumn time, You thrive
You are valuable to my--
Eye is twinkling...praying for
Insight...yearning for Your sight
You are the hills - guiding my
Mind is longing for your mirth--
Restoring peace to my verse,
Sprouting forth grace and freedom
You are the train tracks, bearing--
My train of thought...making my
Steel spirit connect with Yours
You are the valley - between
The mountains guarding us all,
Building strength to fragile bones,
Welcoming a stream of hope
You are my map - lending me
YOUR helping hand I would take
Now, I could take Your challenge
You are like a maze filled with
Mysteries conceal the truth;
I fight with all of my might
And I BEG for Your mercy
To mend my once blissful dreams!
How I long for Your mercy...

===== A little rhyme inspired by DaryIsue LockHart's rhymes =====
It is for the lost.. that I wanna find the way,
Out from this dark place, of pain and misery.
Back to ourselves.. how we were, when we were young,
Before evil played its hand, before the time we got stung.
I wanna be free.. but that'll have to wait!
I'm trapped by emotion, by feelings soo great.
And I'm not alone.. in this victims prison,
D.I.Y Labotomy, I'll make the first incision.
I don't want drugs, to ease my pain,
I found Nirvana.. but can't get back again!
Some say I'm insane! This train of thought I'm on,
Goes through a portal to another dimension.
But it's a dark, cold world.. where I know no fear,
My heart it stops, my mind sharpens.. becomes clear,
When I look into your eyes.. I can see your soul,
I can reach into your heart.. but I might lose control!
Sometimes I can see.. just a little too much,
And round-about that time, I start to lose touch,
See.. I know why you hurt, but I could hurt them too!
I'd make them scream, long, sweet, songs of sorry.. just for you.
However.. I know something, that they don't know,
I've had a little glimpse, of the place, that they go,
Where they like to turn the tables.. and play little games,
Where sticks and stones hurt, but so will the names!
Till then.. keep strong! Keep your mind awake,
You've walked through fire, I think you should take a break,
But you've seen the enemy, like me.. you wanna fight,
Thats why I walk alone, with no shadow, in the night.

Fall is my favorite time of year.
I just love when you ride in the country and see all the pretty colors of leaves on the trees.
See the kids having lots of fun jumping up and down as the autumn colors fall to the ground.
The air is so crisp and clean and you feel alive.
The wind blowing through the trees is so nice to hear.
Children everywhere running and jumping with such a cheer.
Fall brings out the child in us all.
Not too far behind is the holiday season
we all look forward to.
Bright lights, decorations, toys and all,
But nothing could come close then watching
the fist snowflake fall.

Gentle Breeze
Things blowing all around me but I am standing still. Problems like a hurricane, the world thinks I should yield. But, there’s a gentle breeze blowing calling me in where I will find the strength to begin again.
There’s a gentle breeze around me that’s steady and true. It gives me comfort and strength I never knew.
As the stillness comes, I settle down, knowing that everything’s ok. Looking past the horizon the heavy winds blow but deep inside is my comfort zone, I am safe when I’m at home.
The gentle winds are blowing safe within my soul.
I feel like I could slip away to another place. A place where only the gentle breeze can blow on my face. Blow on me gentle breeze calm my soul within. Blow on me gentle breeze bring me peace again.
Blow gentle breeze, gentle breeze blow.
The world is sometimes harsh and scary, I wish I could run and hide. But everywhere I look there’s no end in sight. I finally found that place in me that helps me deal with things. I feel the breeze coming on, I see it in the trees.
Blow on gentle breeze, blow within my soul. Help me find that resting place that heals my
wounded soul.
Blow gentle breeze, gentle breeze blow

From my thoughts on the paper in which it lies,
My everlasting passion is inked as it dries.
The way I feel inside, you might want to spy,
But if you pry, how will my lyrics surprise?
A song for thought will only leave a thought.
May sound difficult, but that’s just how I talk.
I was lost, but I found me.
Dreaming and believing that writing was my key.
The way it flows and the way that it goes pumps me to speak
the very thoughts that many minds chose to keep.
Many rocks I’ve kicked and many decisions I’ve made.
Any wrongs I take the blame.
Tic-tac-toe is only a game.
I plagiarize your eyes with the notes that I’ve taken,
A high note here and a low note there-
You’d swear I’m in your head when my song hits your ear.
Pain recognizes pain
And I’ve have my share of bandages.
My vibes from life heals the permanent damages.
Thoughts of a Songwriter,
Reaches farther beyond the beat,
Over the lyrics on the sheet,
Not only is it about the speech,
But more of what the message seeks.
True enough a theme is touched and a heart is rushed.
With the mind-throbbing picture disappearing
Through the ink of my pen and revealed through your lens,
You can’t hear me, but do you feel me?
I cherish my talent and where it could possibly sweep me.
My doubts and my worries are beneath me.
I love for brighter days and pray for more things to pave.
Call my life my number because its infinite.
Thoughts of a Songwriter,
My mentality drips it.

***A collaboration with a talented friend
You say my name and make me feel
like you know my thoughts, my heart can't beat still
So if its feelin right dont be ashamed
and if its feelin wrong you only got me to blame
Pre Chorus:
you cant blame it on the liquor
you can't blame it on the club
you can't blame it on the dj for you fallin in love
Chorus:
you can try to play it off but you know where I'll be right?
Dancin to the sound of my heart and it beats like
From the day we met, my hearts been set,
it's you i want, with no regrets
Baby ain't no need to rush, we can take this slow
Let's play these feelings by ear and see how the beats go
(Repeat Pre-Chorus and Chorus)
Bridge
Ima try to be your girl, change your world
give you mine, two hearts combine
So if you got the time baby let me know
We can take it fast, take it slow, keep it on the low
(Repeat Pre Chorus and Chorus)

My eyes
Pour forth feelings
That I’ve felt in the past
They make my heart ache…
Take it all away…
Oh my God…
They’re making me sink in dismay
When will they break away?
When will they give me a break?
And I’m left in my solitude…
Do you hear me weeping?
And I’m close to my demise…
Only to find myself disappear…
When will peace draw near?
Eye don’t see
A happy ending in this scene
My eyes
Journeys into the unknown
Who knows what will happen…
They’re like hidden treasure…
They’re buried far below…
And I’m left in my solitude…
My eye’s weeping…
And I’m close to my demise…
Only to find myself disappear…
When will peace draw near?
Oh my God…
They’re driving me insane
When will they see my reflection?
When will they heal the infection?
Eye don’t feel
Raindrops of hope and relief
All I feel…is grief…
Eye sense no peace…
And I’m left in my solitude…
My eye’s sagging…from endless mourning
And I’m close to my demise…
Only to find myself disappear…
When will peace draw near?
Does He hear
My supplications?
Does He sense
My fear?
My eyes
Conceals the tears that dare to spew out
I feel trapped and lost without a doubt…
They erase my delight…
They seek my hurt…
Oh my God…
They’re casting me away into the perilous sea
And I’m left in my solitude…
My eye’s weeping…
And I’m close to my demise…
Only to find myself disappear…
When will peace throw out my fear?
Eye don’t see
A ship in sight…to save me from my demise
My lifeless body...
Drifts away in the wild ocean...
Without a sound...
Without emotion...
Eye don’t see
A rope to hold on to…
My hope for peace
Has drowned…

My eyes
Refuse to see tragedy
My eyes
Marinate in dread…unable to embrace ecstasy
And I’m left in my solitude…
My eye’s sagging…from endless mourning
And I’m close to my demise…
Only to find myself disappear…
When will peace draw near?
You don’t see
What damage you’ve done
Just let me be
Leave me alone…hand me a gun
I yearn for unspoiled glory
To make me feel perfect once more
I yearn for flawless serenity
To make me feel no regret…don’t ignore
My calls…don’t hang up on me
You don’t see
What damage you’ve done
Just hear my plea
Listen to my excruciating cries…
Listen to the truth, not the malicious lies
Our journey has just begun
And I’m left in my solitude…
Do you hear me weeping?
And I’m close to my demise…
Only to find myself disappear…
When will peace draw near?
Eye can’t handle the stress
Let me release my horrendous distress
Eye can see you making that same mistake
At least MY life isn’t at stake
And I’m left in my solitude…
My eye’s weeping…do You feel my lament
And I’m close to my demise…
Only to find myself disappear…Stepped on like cement
I’m aching with discontent… I abhor this torment
When will peace scrub off my fear?
I can’t believe my eyes
Your guiltiness flows into me…
I can’t believe I fell for your lies
Your heartless action rape my mind…you don’t see
What my EYES see…
You’ll never see
How much pressure you put me under
Unchain me from this chamber
And watch me flee…
When will you be set free?

Look into my eyes
And the blessed skies;
You will see they are true and
blue,
Always glowing and focused on
you.
Look into my hands
And the virgin lands;
You will see they are full of golds
and goodies,
Always there to quench your
thirst and longings.
Look into my heart
And the colurful kite;
You'll see they are always up
above,
Always flying higher as you toss
it with your true love.
Come into my life
And join this legal strife;
We'll be sentenced not with hard
labour
But to life imprisonment with
love and favour
Never make me cry
Do not say goodbye;
Till the shadows divide
Always be with me , even amidst
the tide.

Sometimes I wish that I could be, a little boy who was just like me. When I was young and not afraid, of anyone or anything.
I'll take my time to lose it all. But learn to run before I crawl. So far away from everything. That this cruel world has thrown on me.
Hearts may break, as teardrops fall. But love and time, will heal us all. So hold onto, your happy thoughts. Grip childhood dreams, don't let them rot!
I'll shake some hands, and crack a smile. I'm in no rush, I'll be here a while. To face this world, all on my own. But in your arms, I'm not alone.
So take my hand, and hold it tight. Let's spread our wings, and take to flight. We'll break the boundaries, of any road. And go seek out, our pot of gold.
Hearts may break, as teardrops fall. But love and time, will heal us all. So hold onto, your happy thoughts. Grip childhood dreams, let the bad ones rot!
Sometimes I believe in miracles. Sometimes I hate this cold hard world.
Sometimes I just break down and cry.
That's when my angels help me fly.
Carry me, high upon your shoulders. Don't let me, grow any older. For Neverland, is where we make it. I'm happy now, no need to fake it.
In troubled times, I drift away. And let my childhood memories play. When lost and lonely, pick up the phone. Dear mom and dad, I'm coming home.
Hearts may break, as teardrops fall. But love and time, will heal us all...

Co-incidence (n 1 a chance occurence of simultaneous or apparently connected events)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Up, down.. left and right,
It's all around us, like the day and the night,
Too big to miss, but it's beyond our sight,
It's there.. and it isn't. Nearly is.. but not quite!
You people are ALL right.. so I'll try to be polite,
You can't fight the feeling.. 'cause you haven't got the might,
Can you handle the truth? Get a grip and hold tight,
'Cause it will set you free! Blow your mind like dynamite!
In the beginning.. I'm sure you know too,
This World was created, it's all been thought through,
Evolving on que, under skies made so blue,
Plant's came before us, just so they could give to you.
Sorry, I'm repeating what you already knew,
But how did these plants know to sow the seeds that grew?
So they slid through our bellies, waiting in our fertile poo?
Symbiosis with the Planet.. does this all sound true?
What about us? Why are we here?
Why all the questions? It is obviously clear!
It all makes sense, so there's no need to fear,
Don't confuse the matter, because it's simple my dear!
We have got ears.. so that we can hear,
But why give us a brain? Because year after year,
We just dig a deeper ditch.. and then flood it with tears,
When the end draws near, will you hear any cheers?
I want a big applause, when I finish this race,
If I finish first.. I won't say "In your Face!"
Try to look good, don't end it in disgrace,
Or even take it slow, and set a nice steady pace.
Never give up! Learn to lead a merry chase,
Up the garden path, throughout time and space,
And just in case, we end up lost in this place,
The case will be closed and we'll be gone, without a trace.

It only takes one voice to start a song
With someone else there… to sing along
And pretty soon, you may well see
The entire world singing happily
There is that one voice within us all
It’s pride and fear that hides the call
But, if just one would raise a voice
Others would follow as a matter of choice
So loud and strong, that one should sing
Happiness to all, that person may bring
By starting the world off… in that song
Then everyone else will just sing along
Do not be afraid of the changes you make
Life can only improve by the choices we take
And if the lyrics for that moment seem wrong
Then quiet the voice and start a new song
One person can change the whole world we know
By deciding to stand to let their voice grow
Do not back down when it’s your time to sing
You’ll be so surprised by what your voice brings
Within the air, all the voices you’ll hear
Will be of the many that overcame fear
Standing to sing, despite those who wait
They’re the voices of those, who contribute to fate
Do not be afraid of the changes you make
Life can only improve by the choices we take
And if the lyrics for that moment seem wrong
Then quiet the voice and start a new song
Be that one voice
Sing from your heart
Don’t hide in the shadows
You can be now the start

Dear God I been struggling all my life
for the sins I committed I paid the price
learned to live with regrets and sacrifice
da da da da da da da da da da da
I contain unspeakable secrets in the depths of my mind
my eyes have witness the wickedest sickness of mankind
In been conflicted at times
by my on mind confined
implicated in crime and briefly confined
Now I'm a family guy and there much more than worth it
but what if all the beef from my past comes to the surface
that's not what I sweat I got theLord to protect
if the strings get pulled on the devils marionettes
but in the event they approached with the intent of my death
I'd still send shots down the center like I'm dialing collect
always a peaceful cat except for my youth
when I swore that I wore a bullet proof gorilla suit
and in the heat of the streets deepest beefs I found
every shot that came would miss be by a country mile
until that one that came to erase the life of Dwayne
it murder portions of me and the rest if left in pain
in a since he's still here cause his blood flows through my veins
and my faith dictates I can see him again
all though the pain never lessens their are lessons in pain
for what does not kill me gives me strength to gain
Dear God I been struggling all my life
for the sins I committed I paid the price
learned to live with regret and sacrifice
da da da da da da da da da da da

It's a lonely, truthful journey
finding your voice, with which to sing,
even worse, then there's the journey for your song;
but, we all sing from our essence
to share the truths each heart may bring,
so sing out loud, sing out clear, and sing out strong.
After a while, you may meet someone
who may fancy the same "life tune",
but, their performance of the song does not ring, true:
I can't emphasize enough, my friend
that we all live the songs we choose,
and that the melodies, and lyrics always falls on you.
That's why I sing the Blues these days,
and feel as lonely as the moon,
there's a certain honesty in reminding folks of pain;
and how next time it might be avoided
by adding "blue-notes" to the tune,
to draw attention, so it can't happen to us again.
Now, the other side of those "blue-notes
is a more joyful, hopeful tune,
to remind us that our hearts aren't always wrong;
it's merely "par for the course",
to sing of both sweet love, and pain...
..but, that's the blues.....and that's the, Journey of Your Song.

I'm a goddess
My flow is unspeakable
Not too many situations are infeasible
A goddess
I'm surely irresistible
Besides my persona the reason isn't invisible
A goddess
I'm gracious always
A real stand up woman the woman she don't play
A goddess
Courageous in all ways
Up against a man my heart will outweigh
A goddess
A woman with intuition
A passion for life and the quality of it's condition
A goddess
I'm a woman authentically
Progressively complexity, I love my femininity

(Verse 1)
Are you afraid of what you don’t understand
Maybe its that guiding light in the dead of night
Or messages given through the stages of life
For me even as a child tomorrow’s been whispering clue’s
(Bridge)
Am I a fool for believing in all those dreams
Pictures in my mind talking to me
Tomorrow is calling today showing my destiny
Am I blessed with an inner gift or am I going insane
(Hook)
Voices of the night
Spiritual souls protecting and guiding our lives
Voices of the night
Spiritual souls helping us to be aware
Voices of the night
Hints from the other side
(Verse 2)
When you close your eyes at night.. just visualize
Reach your hands out into the air.. just believe.
Then open your eyes with surprise
Your destiny in the palm of your hands
(Bridge)
I had another dream last night lots of symbology
Children were laughing and playing
A little boy waved his hand and a rose appeared
I woke up to sunshine and a rose billboard out my window
(Hook)
Voices of the night
Spiritual souls protecting and guiding our lives
Voices of the night
Spiritual souls helping us to be aware
Voices of the night
Hints from the other side

Will I have been standing on the sidelines, watching everyone go after their goals. I been missing out on the finer things that life has to offer. Seeing you there reminds me of brighter days. Hearing your laughter, reminds me of the day my dreams all changed.
‘Cause, I been blessed, wouldn’t change it for the world. Nothing sweeter than you. You’re that shining star, the beacon at sea. I thank the good lord for giving me you, nothing can change the love I have for you.
Will I have been standing on the sidelines, watching everyone have their fun. Now its later, you can see them down an out.
‘Cause, I been blessed, with having you as a daughter. You lifted my heart higher, each day I see you. You’re that shining star, the beacon at sea.
If I was a sailor, I would hurry home to you. Can’t get enough of that laughter, don’t like seeing a frown on your face.
Will I been standing on the sidelines, watching everyone reach to the stars. When I have one right here. Yes, I been standing on the sidelines.
I look at this world, and nothing can change my mind. There be trouble on the horizon, terrible times ahead. People getting hurt, always sad an blue. I put them in prayer as with everyone.
‘Cause, I been blessed, with writing these words. A pure melody, straight an narrow, they are flowing like a stream. Nine in the morning, an everything is going to be alright.
‘Cause, I been blessed, with this life. Wouldn’t to change it, wouldn’t to lose it. I would love to share, so here I sit writing these words.
Oh, I got a melody running through my head, as I write these words. Sounding like country, maybe its an oldie. But none the less, its pure straight from the heart.
Flowing like a river, steady as a stream. Let it span out there, like the clouds in the sky. Showing everyone in the world, that I got this love for them. My heart is being true, it is solid. This thing is flowing like a river, steady as a stream. Nothing rocky bout this love of mine.
‘Cause, I been blessed, with having a daughter - who is just like you…
‘Cause, I been blessed.
‘Cause, I been blessed..
‘Cause, I been blessed…

There are Angels in Heaven, that haven't any wings.
No miracles or visions or any of those things,
that Angels are said to do, to help us along.
But, these wingless Angels, they sing the sweetest songs.
As they rock the babes in Heaven and hold them to their breast.
Fluffing the softest clouds, so as to lay their small heads to rest.
They cover them in quilts of love and tenderness.
You know these wingless Angels, are God's very best.
I know personally, four of the wingless Angels, who love their task.
I am sure they volunteered, without being asked.
Mom and Dad, Grandma and Grandpa, never needed wings,
for they were Angels while on this earth, their praises I sing.
As they rock the babes in Heaven and hold them to their breast.
Fluff the softest clouds they find, when the babes need rest.
Covering them in quilts of love and tenderness.
Yes, I know these four wingless Angels, are God's very best.
The children flock around Grandpa, to hear his silly jokes.
Watch him make bubbles float and blow multi colored rings of smoke.
Grandma and Mom, make cookies and cake, fresh from the sun.
Making sure as to not run out, sharing with everyone.
Dad is making sure the piggy back rides, never stop.
He finds the best clouds around, to bounce atop.
At night, they rock the babes in Heaven and hold them to their breast.
Gathering up the softest clouds, on which to rest.
They cover them in quilts of love and tenderness.
These four wingless Angels, are God's very best.

I was introduced into the vast illusions of life.
Some people call it love, others call it a knife.
Cutting your skin so you can bleed.
Each drop is a distraction from what you need.
You close your eyes and take the pain.
Then all your worries are temporarily in vain.
No progress, no digress
Just that moment to believe that more is less.
Oh and you grieve from your hopelessness
You accept the fact that you have lost your happiness
You cry, You scream! Help is what you seek
No one hears though, we just ignore and call you a freak
All this segregation
All this quote on quote integration
The only thing it does is make the big seem bigger
And the small seem smaller.
Belief is the only thing you keep
You grasp it so tightly and put it under your feet
Each step is a different view
You’re looking around for something new
Eyes stay open, Heart is listening
Your intentions are bright and glistening.
You want to change from mad
And achieve the beautiful emotion of simple glad
Battle this depression, get away from this mess and
Find a whole new state of mind open for progression.
Your voice sounds desperate.
Your scars show desperate.
You are desperate, and you’ve made a mess of it.
But it’s obvious to me,
That you can finally see
How to overcome the desperation
And use your failures as inspiration.
Yes, it’s obvious to me.

My life flutters by, like a butterfly.. a lullaby,
Making me cry and sigh, untill I die,
I'm lying here thinking.. it's all been a waste,
Just a hasty taste, of all the pleasures I've chased.
This P.M.A, which I display, every day,
Is the only way, I'll make it through.. yeah, I'm Okay,
Positivity, with a Darkside twist,
Missing the point.. do I even exist?
I kissed the lips of fate, now I cannot escape,
The caped-crusader, keeps me safe, from ass-rape.
I predict, great things! For me, at any rate,
Inflating my ego, fashionably late.
Now I've arrived, only the Fastest will survive,
Use your double talking jive, none will be left alive!
But If you don't attack.. I won't have to defend,
And send you to Hell, let's pretend this is the end.
Draw up a treaty, sweety. What we want is Peace,
Not monopoly on World War 3, this madness.. it must cease!
Are YOU insane? 'Causing pain? Check your brain!
The lame-ass excuses all remaining the same.. again.
My Brain's a machine, running at obscene speeds,
You don't know my thoughts, my words or all my deeds,
My needs are the same as yours.. we both bleed,
So read the writing on the wall, and your mind will be freed.
They say I'm LoCo.. smoke too much, it's a joke.. oh!
My Woman's been messing 'round town.. go get the gun Joe,
Slow down! Where you going? I'm just blowing off steam!
Blowing up time. In space, can't hear you scream.
NO! I'm not mad! I'm totally sane,
But it feels like sometimes, we're all on a crazy train.
First-class ticket, next stop.. the Asylum,
I need the Ghostbusters! There's no answer when I dial 'em!
So who am I gonna call? The Police will arrest ME!
For aggravated assualt.. they're not getting me easy!
Lock me up? With no fags and no drink?
I'm gonna go ballistic! You'd better go and fetch the Shrink!
You wanna hold me back? Get the Feds and the Army,
I'll take some drastic measures if you really wanna harm me!
Calm yourself down.. learn to see with both eyes,
Time flies.. surprising how fast it slips by.

Allah is the Most Kind
Allah, please never mind.
Allah can see and hear
Allah, please grant prayer.
Allah can speak freely
Allah, please talk to me.
Allah is the Best King
Allah, please do something.
(Amen)

Dreamer, never give up on
the unrealized dreams of yesterday;
and with nothing but hope...
you can imagine them shine,
even brighter than the furthest star...
when your sky has no other light!
Dreamer, don't put them away;
see in strides: a courageous heart!
Lay them out on the pathways...
where everyone can see them with a clear view;
dreams are lived out by those
who are free to trust and love anyone of their choice...
to let emotions speak with an inner voice;
dreamer, you can have them, too!
You could think of a possibility,
and turn it into a certainty;
never passing up that chance...
to paint the unrealized dreams of yesterday
with lively colors that can only
be found in a rainbow that delights all senses!
Aliveness comes form a surge of profound awareness...
that awakening to life may seem an illusion,
so dreamer realize the dreams of yesterday
with all thoughts and joys set on tomorrow,
and let them swirl within and immensely grow...
by not letting others interfere with your happiness,
which is often threatened by another intrusion;
dreamer, hold them in your grasp...don't let them get away!

So many people have lost their lives
Too many husbands have struck their wives
when can we get over this horrible hate
will we learn our lesson before it's too late
there goes the sun
there goes the sun!
we've walked so many miles and we've only begun
so march onward my son into the distant blue
don't be afraid I'll come back for you
So many lies stacked up before us all
will we catch ourselves before we fall
I guess it's not fair to me and you
that the walk is so long and the breaks are so few
there goes the moon
there goes the moon!
down and out and under but don't give up so soon
so keep forward my son and keep walking on
before the night is over you'll be ready for the dawn
why is there no one left there on the hill
is it because we shot him down with our words that kill
when will we learn that it's far from over
will it be when we rest under ground beneath earth and clover
there goes my boy
there goes my boy!
onward he marches in search of pride and joy
just keep headin' forward though you're tired and sore
your walkin' days aren't over but
my son, you're ready, for more!!!

If what I feel is true
Don’t know how to explain
That my heart was heavy once
And didn’t know what to do
I was gloomy and darkness fell
over me, all at once
I thought that I was through
And was going straight to hell
Chorus
But then you came to me
And entered in my heart
And now that I am free
Promise with you to never part
I need you, Lord, to know
How desperate I did feel
Didn’t think that I would make it
And saw it all so real
The bad became the worse
And the worse became so real
And their teachings that I heard
Never happy would make me feel
Chorus
But then you came to me
And entered in my heart
And now that I am free
Promise with you to never part
My heart became a stone
Didn’t know that I could feel
This LOVE that you give me
And my sins away you peeled
Now I’m grateful, Lord
And full of love I feel
Not only for you, God
But I feel I love the world
And most important, Lord
I feel I Love myself
Because
You came to me, Oh Lord
And entered in my heart
And now that I am free
Promise never from you to part
And become so lovingly
And stretch out my hand to thee
No matter what it is you feel
Prayer will set you free
So believe and faith will never fail
And let God’s love in you prevail

Your song, A Beautiful Child,
touched my heart long ago,
inspired to love beauty I could never hold,
inspired to love beauty from afar.
I am the sleepless child who grew
tall enough to reach a star.
You sang of feelings that remain
After the Glitter Fades,
and I listened to the sound.
Late at night, I dreamed I was Rhiannon,
visions kept to myself of a bird in flight,
a night bird taken by the wind.
Unforgettable songs of love and joy,
sorrow and pain, wash over me
like Silver Springs, Violet and Blue.
The songs from your Book of Miracles
lift me on a White-Winged Dove.
Feelings of freedom soar in my soul.
The higher I fly, the more fragile love becomes,
but the heart is strong when we sing.
Resilient, I find the courage to carry on,
triumph over trials, leather compliments lace.
Your voice rings clear like a bell
in the still of night. You ask
the mirror in the sky, what is love?
Bolder with age, I seek to find
my own answers. The Gypsy in my soul
searches for more. Sometimes, I find
my own reflection and a brazen heart.
Sometimes, I find an innocent child,
shy and unassuming. All of life is lyrics set to music.
In the deep colors of night, I hear your voice.

I'm so happy that you can yell at everyone
I'm so happy that you can express youself
I'm so happy that this world isn't what you expected
I'm just so parched that your so high up on your horse
And now I'm mad, now I'm sad, now I just dont understand
Why you care about two people fallin in love
Why you care if I drink or if I do drugs
I just wanna scream into your eyes
Make you realize that what you say isn't always right
Now right and wrong, it's all opinion
Black and white, yes I think they deserve, to be colors too
So how about me and you, is there any truth
You cant change the world with one voice if the tongue is burned
I'm so happy that you can climb a mountain high
I'm so happy that you think its my job to be the wife
Yeah I'm so happy that your such a hypocrit
I'm so grateful for you to tell me lies
And now I'm mad, now I'm sad, now I just dont understand
Why its your job to fix us all
And preach your words to a raging band
Someday you will see
That there is more than just degree
In this world that we praise peace
Peace is lost in the sea

Port of Call
Barefoot on a talcum beach,
alone, not lonely,
with the breath of the ocean a caressing balm,
soothing pained memories away,
to the swaying of a solitary palm.
Barefoot on a talcum beach,
alone, not lonely,
feeling the brushing away of all past turmoil,
on a quest for solace, ever so hard to find,
yet comforted by the crashing of the waves,
as the tide cleanses all pain,
and leaves despair far, far behind.
Barefoot on a talcum beach,
alone, not lonely,
drenched in a sea-breeze of mist,
that hushes the ache of bygone moons,
tasting the salty tang on my lips,
as the burnished sun,
over the distant horizon,
swoons,
and dips.
Barefoot on a talcum beach,
alone, not lonely,
searching, ever searching,
for a slice of solitude,
as memory bids a final adieu,
reaching under the sea so vast,
and seeking comfort in the depths,
while embracing,
the tomorrows to come,
wishing that they be true.
Barefoot on a talcum beach,
alone, not lonely,
seeing my truths drown,
as they slip beneath the turquoise waters,
feeling my heart ablaze,
with a passion that rarely falters.
Barefoot on a talcum beach,
alone, not lonely,
yet knowing that I am home at long last,
wishing the waves would wash away,
the defences that once stood,
like an impregnable wall.
Barefoot on a talcum beach,
alone, not lonely,
I have found, at long last,
my final port of call.

Dedication to unconditional love and soul
salvation
I AM the ONE who loves thee
The ONE who cared enough to die for thee
I AM HE who redeemed thee
The ONE who rose from the dead to comfort thee
I AM the ONE who will always be with thee
The ONE who will never forsake thee
I AM HE who is integrity
The ONE who imparts truth in thee
I AM HE who was sent to save thee
The ONE who bore all your infirmities
I AM HE who will come back for thee
Just be a soul who truly loves ME
YESHUA

Where did my mind go?
Did it fly away on the back of a star,
did it hitch a ride to heaven?
Where is my mind now?
Well, it's flying high in the place where the eagles soar.
Floating through space now,
on the back of a psychedelic rainbow train.
Will it come back again?
PRE-CHORUS
And I said, Hey, I just wanna stay insane.
Don't wanna come back to this sad reality.
Hey, I don't wanna feel this pain -
Just wanna wake up one day not being me...
CHORUS
I've gotta run baby, run baby, run baby, run baby,
run away.
Fly baby, fly baby, fly baby, fly baby,
each and every day.
Spread my wings, touch the sky,
catch broken dreams.
Yeah, yeah.
Not what it seems.
Yeah, yeah.
Where did my love go?
Did it disappear like smoke in a cloud?
Does it shine right through the Heavens?
Will I ever stop searching,
or will you write my name in never-ending tears?
Where is my love now?
Well it's spinning round in currents forever gone.
Just remember the way now.
Don't lose myself in a million empty ways.
Just keep counting the days.
PRE-CHORUS
And I said, Hey, I just wanna stay insane.
Don't wanna come back to this sad reality.
Hey, I don't wanna feel this pain.
Just wanna wake up one day not being me....
CHORUS
I've gotta run baby, run baby, run baby, run baby,
run away.
Fly baby, fly baby, fly baby, fly baby,
each and every day.
Spread my wings, touch the sky.
Catch broken dreams,
Yeah, yeah
Not what it seems,
Yeah, yeah.
I'll catch my dreams,
Yeah, yeah.

A life with no sun
Makes a soul sad and dreary
You seek the things of this world
Still, no happiness you find
But when Jesus steps in
Your days become brighter
For he changes your heart
And gives you peace of mind
Just open the door
When the Savior comes knocking
Don't turn him away
Just welcome him in
Take hold of his hand
When he reaches out for you
Just ask for his mercy
And all your sins he'll forgive
Don't sit there in gloom
Heartbroken and weary
For He can rid all the pain
That you feel inside
The things of this world
Only last for a season
But God's gracious love
Will forever abide
So open the door
For the Savior is knocking
Don't turn him away
Just welcome him in
Take hold of his hand
For he's reaching out for you
Just ask for his mercy
And all your sins he'll forgive

I must sit down and turn around
be mindful as I sit,
the reason you can't see my face
is it's covered with your spit!
This gravy-train is quite insane
I chew my food real good;
I have a way of saying things
but I'm so, misunderstood!
It's alright, I'll be polite
and say what's on my mind;
if negatives breed negatives
I'll be the other kind.
With borrowed soap, I can't lose hope
and air my cares outside;
if the time's not right and at this height,
it'll be impossible to hide!
Tweedle-dee, and tweedle-dum
no worries in the rain;
all my good and bad times
end up going down the drain.
Seems to me my final plea
won't say as much as yours;
my journey's almost over
while you've still a lot more doors !

Ramblin' Bob Dylan Blues
(For Bob Dylan)
Why does the sun dry up so many scattered tears
slipping down the coarse cheek of a million hushed fears
where no one is scalded though the searing fog clears
while prayers are mutely spoken even as the end nears
We shatter and scrape on demented knees
Blindly begging for mercy as it silently flees
Searching listlessly for salvation drowned in the breeze
That spits at the soft rose suffocated by a wheeze
I know now what I need never have known
Of hope that was trampled before it had flown
Into a wasted sky filled with hate that could drown
The giggling of the crowd and the crying of the clown
A hope so fragile that its wings were of brittle glass
Ripping the veneer off the sewers of class
Twisting the fabric of the weighed and costed mass
Who numbly waited hoping that it too may pass
For when shards of that hope in all hearts scurries away
To a darkness where crowded night is emptied off the heaving tray
'Tis then when sewn eyes shall behold that doleful day
When all shall tear at each other while on demented knees we still shall pray
For a lifting of the veil of that wilful deceit
That's wrapped up in a flag swollen with conceit
While the limbs splinter in the claw of a winner's defeat
Yet still the drums roll for the ill-fated souls chose never to retreat
From that drenched battle-ground where blood flows through a sieve
And love's lost song plaintively begs for a reprieve
From eternal loss which into raw emotion does cleave
Only to slip through the fingers and like grains of sand, leave.

You can pin me down and take everything from me.
Thinking you really do something but it'll make me come back stronger.
Say some things thati'll have you cry,frightened,or have a heart attack.
Take my family,friends, and other things i love that are important to me.
Ill show you how weak i can be.
Don't stir up the gemini that lies inside.
I've done many things
I've said many things
I've seen many things
I've felt many things
Things that made me want to die
Although my craziness hasn't begin to subside.
I was born to a soldier, from her i became a soldier.
Watched her knock down brick wall and break out steel cages.
Saw her fall when there was no hope.
Got back up when we called.
Fierce as a snake as loving as any great mother can be.
From her I learned even when everything is on you
use what you got, don't depend on anyone else.

for gary moore...
...ain't nothing but the blues
talkin' sweltering licks
screaming through flaming hues
reaching deep, deep into that wandering soul
of devilish chords on those walkways of paris
strutting and strumming, never taking a mere stroll
so though your time here and now may be up
and though your moments here and now may be through
forgive me for borrowing your words again
cos' we still got the blues for you...

BORN AT 47
I am born , now at the age of forty seven
I am surprised, as I seemingly feel
The same fresh air of thrill
May be how the freedom starved folks felt
In the historic year of nineteen forty seven.
The early days passed away with distracted aims
The appreciated hidden talents were just like some game.
The happy go lucky nature, never led me to a special feature
So many chances, so many goals,
Looked like a long way with many a pot holes!
The path of an achiever had never been so easy,
A slight change in decision, made my life busy.
I acted many roles, as if on a stage at motion
Mother,daughter,tutor, partner, all with great devotion
Some deeds were applauded, some remained unsung
Some feathered me a perfectionist,but most seemed undone.
Mixed feelings went side by side,creating an unknown apprehension
The prized acts of my progeny were my only aspiration.
Years passes by,responsibilities changes,
Days became less tiresome, nights full of avenges.
The bejeweled life filled with ethical deem,
Left me a non living, without any esteem.
In such a lifeless forlorn evening
A little friend held my arms
And led me to the path of silver lining
I am born again..........afresh anew
In an ecstasy of finding out
The hidden and lost views.
A part of my own soul,
A part of my heartbeat
A daughter turned friend nurtured my dreams
In a fashion offbeat.
Now I have a new little world of my own
Where nobody can question or show me a frown.
I fill my heart with music
I fill my mind with words
I feel the urge to step ahead
Of the never ending crowd
So what,if I am not an opportunist!
So what, if I am not a protagonist!
I'm still enjoying my budding fragrance
In a golden dawn, breaking the cloud of mist

there's a dream inside
to possible the impossibility
to make sense a non sense
to believe the unbelievable
i think that what makes a faith is
there's a dream inside
to bliss the unhappiness
to let go a depression
to release frighten
i think that what makes a dream alive
it's harder to breathe
when you keep on waiting on your dream
but it's easier to live
when you believe in your dream
dare to be different
dare to be the unusual
dare to believe the unbelievable
i think that's what makes your dream alive
when your days are weary...just dream
when your nights are cold...just dream
when your heart's breaking...just dream
because life is part of a dream
just dream

An afternoon stroll with a friend on a heated day,
Her hair perfectly swaying to her giggle bounce
Holding her tummy, simply stating
“I have a baby on the way”
Hugs, kisses, dreams and wishes
For this Mrs
The sun shining inside and out
So lucky she felt that day, she has a baby on the way
Baby’s daddy holds mommy’s hand
Says thank you honey, I love you so much
Our baby is lucky to have your heart
And I’m so blessed to wear your band
A visit to the doctor turned perfect joy into shock
You have cancer he told her
You won’t live with this life in you
Sit soon with your husband and have a talk
Hugs, kisses, dreams and wishes
For this Mrs.
The sun shines brightly on this day
Cause she still has her baby on the way
Her husband crying uncontrollable tears
Loving her so
He could never ever let her go
He can’t choose
he doesn’t want to lose
His wife or his child
She knew for her this baby was a voice
A wish she made so long ago
A wish come true
And there was no one telling her what to do
It was ultimately her decision, her choice
Six years have passed, and Emily asks,
“Daddy, when will I see mommy?”,
Today my sweet angel,
Today
Hugs, kisses, dreams and wishes
For this Mrs
The sun still shining on this day
as Emily kneels to pray
For mommy
Mommy had made her choice
And daddy still hurts so bad, he misses her smile, her touch
But he holds Emily today
with Mommy's light warming them both
His deep indescribable love for Emily sustains him
On her birthdays
Hugs, kisses, dreams and wishes
For Emily
The sun still shining on this day
her hair perfectly swaying to her giggle bounce,
as she plays,

Underneath my dream, idea tree
with full access to my library
where the moments only count if your breath's away;
tread softly through the canopy's veil
it's anyone's guess, in this odd tale;
are they at work? Are they at rest? Or will they play?
~
So quick! Am I to sanitize
each moment bold, I categorize;
so I know when one does end, and the next shall start;
breathe each one in, or turn to stone
after all they're yours, and yours alone
you gave to each one "life", inside your heart!
~
Not one thing can better describe
the essence of a soul's own vibe,
than, what prompts a heart to quicken like the birds;
we've each had footprints shadow made,
but, sunlit footprints never fade;
when our breath's away, each legacy needs no words !
~

A prisoner of darkness
Was all I could be.
Trapped and alone inside
Along a blackened sea
No one to hold me
To keep me alive
Completely abandoned
No reason to survive.
Then there was a light
Small but getting brighter
It drowned out the darkness
And made me a fighter. . .
Before i'd go with everything
And let them chain me down
Now I start to question them
I start to keep my ground.
Why should I let them stab me?
And see my blood run free
There's a reason that I need to live
To let myself be me.
No one holds me down
Without paying a price.
Why should they anger me
Then expect me to be nice?
I now... Have a beating heart
And a gleam in my eyes
Someone to kiss and hug me
And keep my soul alive.

I want to make sure I’m not falling on my face...
And I`m willing to go the distance
And I want to bring back good memories...
I want to make sure
You`re safe and you`re in a safe place
But GIVE ME some space
Sometimes, I wake up...feeling so distressed
But GIVE ME your sweet grace
And we'll beat the race...and this pain we share will not be addressed
I don't want to be unsure - am I the one losing the race?
And I'm chilling in this heavenly place
And I need to trade you my apologies…
I don’t want to waste your time
You’re absolutely safe…as long as you keep pace

Daddy now, please pray with me,
for today I'm sailing stormy seas.
I know you say you're but a man,
who tries to live the Master's plan.
I'm weathering gray storms, except a few,
and the turmoil would drown me, if not for you.
The wind is so strong, the waves are so high,
Tattered sails against the sky!
And I recall you telling me,
of Jesus Christ, Who calmed the seas.
And yes, small faith can the mountains move,
and how He died His love to prove.
So Daddy now, please pray with me,
to God's sweet Son, Who dwells in me.
For I am daughter of a man,
and weak at times and cannot stand
against these tides of shifting sands.
You say, "He's still upon His throne",
and with our prayers, I'm not alone!
And God is good and loves me still,
He will offer strength to swim these swells.
Oh Daddy now, please pray with me,
Some choices I made were not of Thee.
At times I've wandered and gone astray,
I feel somehow I've lost my way.
Tell me again my right hand he still holds,
and how in heaven the streets are gold, and
once we're there no one is old because now
Jesus holds my soul!
Daddy now please pray with me like when I
was a child of three beside my bed on bended knees.
And perhaps somehow these words I write, may move
another to change their lives, for Jesus loves me this
I know and his blood has washed me white as snow.
And when you've said "In Jesus Name" I feel brand
new and not the same, so daddy now please pray with me
though I am grown and no longer three.
He'll lift me up on wings of love and forgive me
of all the wrong's I'v done! Then I can drop my anchor
deep and mend white sails on peaceful seas!

I look in the mirror and see the years gone
I can look beyond the glass out the window
To the yards of my childhood
I can smell the flowers and feel the grass ‘neath my feet.
I can hear the music blasting on the radio
Mama callin’ me for supper.
I yearn to go back to that danged town
I fought to get away and never look back,
I never wanted to live there again.
I guess there’s a piece of me
There in that little town.
The town is small and so are the events
You’re everyone’s business
You can get a break and can’t get away
You don’t even have a say
You go to and from and people protest
And those same people will still put you to the test
I yearn to go back to that danged town
I fought to get away and never look back,
I never wanted to live there again.
I guess there’s a piece of me
There in that little town.
I made it to the big town K.C,
Got myself a husband and a son and a place to live
Settled in and made a life, got a career
I swear I’ll never return to my best friend
Comfortable where I stand,
Happy where I am
I yearn to go back to that danged town
I fought to get away and never look back,
I never wanted to live there again.
I guess there’s a piece of me
There in that little town.
Well times are hard,
And people are ruthless in this cut throat time
Jobs are scarce and bills run high
You never know what you’ll hear at night
The people are small in this big town
Yeah people are small in this big town
I yearn to go back to that danged town
I fought to get away and never look back,
I never wanted to live there again.
I guess there’s a piece of me
There in that little town.
I guess the town is small
Just good ol’ boys and girls havin’ fun
Small place, small town, small world
People may talk and people may watch
But the biggest thing in that small town
Are the people after all.
I yearn to go back to that danged town
I fought to get away and never look back,
I never wanted to live there again.
I guess there’s a piece of me
There in that little town.

THIS POEM "LOVES.. WINE..."
Brings out THE BEAST,
in my womanly, female, cravings
The PASSION that I Feel
When I Read This Poem,
MAKES me, want to take off
all
that is on the outside of me.
And feel what can only
be share between two
hungry calculating souls in love.
My lips grow swollen with ever word
as if i am utterly skin close to you.
And you are caressing, every carve
of my inner and outer thoughts.
no words have ever moved me
to thoughts of so deep, with moist intentions
to which have no endless meaning in its passions
before!
if only I, could sip
for your cup
just maybe
I, too could know and feel,
of this sweet "loves.. wine...
you speak of...( http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/loves-wine/ )

< Betty Davis eyes
Marilyn Monroe's thighs
Greta Garbo's lies
Elizabeth Taylor's cries
Tells me this is why
Is She The One
Is She The One
Is She The One For Me

Oh my dear
One thing's clear
Is She The One
Is She The One
Is She The One For Me

Cher's dairy air
Heart's flare

Just wondering there
Is She The One

Is She The One For Me

Look at the inside,
to see the outside,
Look at the intrinsic,
to understand the extrinsic,
See the indigenous
to envision the exogenous,
For what lies without is a measure of within.
Love the heart
to adore the beauty,
Love the brain
to admire the brawn,
See the mind
to open up the soul
For what is inside spills onto the outward.
A beauty within
bears love without
A love without
brightens beauty within
And as we create a lovely without,
Let’s start from a beautiful within.

Letter from Yokosuka by Nujabes (R.I.P.)
chord strikes in the middle of the night, lift me to stars falling
cuz no matter how close, i'm still far from calling
constellations from hibernation, i'm impatient
so i hasten to my destination
but you cant rush perfection as they say
and i learned that from my pop's lessons back in the day
he said "mayday was an excuse for you to drop;
but in the hay day, we all played to reach the top"
i can't stop, and won't with an audience behind me
like the Wise exclaim, "among common men you'll find me"
so if you want your wish, quit looking to stars
plant your feet, your dream is where you are
if you want your wish, quit looking to stars
plant your feet, your dream is where you are
teachers said reach for the zenith, but not seeing
what's in front of me is an image i couldn't sleep with
i guess i'd just miss it
i wanna capture the breath of existence no matter the distance
to see dreams cascade blue among the streams
through crystal clear currents that lead you to me
and a reflection in the pool says, "just be"
and an untamed landscape says, "trust me"
and we scan in awe, saying "it must be"
and we search as one, saying "above me."
why do i try to fight the spirit in me
high lights like stars live atop this city
why do i try to fight the feelings in me
high lights like stars live atop this city
and a reflection in the pool says, "just be"
and an untamed landscape says, "trust me"
and we scan in awe, saying "it must be"
and we search as one, saying "i love thee."

Remembered His Mama’s Words
‘Just Make It Home, Son …’
Her Voice Echoed, As He Heard …
Rapid-Fire and Revolution
Missiles, Right and Left
Bomb-Blasts and Confusion
… and Silent Tears, He’s Wept
… Every Day, A Minefield
Every Night, A Raid
Every Moment, A Terror
Trying to Make Him Afraid …
Any Second, A Horror
Of A Buddy, Laid To Rest
Every New Tomorrow
Wondering, What’s Next ?
The Cowboy On The Battlefield
Vigilant and Brave
Stood Ramrod Tall and Terse …
Looking At Her Grave …
‘Just Make It Home, Son … ‘
… Echoed Thru His Brain
‘Just Make It Home, Son …’
… Echoed Thru The Rain
And Just Before She Was Laid To Rest
She Said, ‘Just Make It Home, Son …’
And With Those Last Words, She Blessed,
And Said, ‘I’ll Be Waiting, When You Come …’

‘Just Make It Home, Son …
… and We’ll Celebrate Our Return …
Of Note: In The Words Of A Lady Rocker,
Pat Benatar: ‘Love Is A Battlefield’
(but I Say, 'Life Is A Battlefield'

As the dreary night slowly vanishes,
taking along the weary stars,
but the wakeful moon decides to stay...
I awaken with the new sunrise
admiring the glimmering sea
with colors resembling diamonds!
I breathlessly wonder
why God has created it
with a painter's hand,
and giving us that joy...
a devine joy as a reminder:
that all He has made is entirely His;
and in the same manner
we care for our bodies
with much preoccupation,
we must take care of all creation,
so that our children
can enjoy it indefinitely!
Among fields of jacandra and dandelions swaying,
I awaken with the new sunrise in sheer delight...
to face life as it was when nobody was there;
and we can imagine the thought running
through God's mind to put a human being there:
to watch and control the beautiful earth!
I awaken with the new sunrise,
to discover a small bird soaring...
going further and further up until
he has picked up the speed of an eagle;
I awaken with the new sunrise...rejoicing,
opening up my spirit to a song of praise!
If I'm still living, I owe it to my Lord,
and there aren't days I don't proclaim His word...
when I awaken with the new sunrise,
and I gladly watch the golden sun radiantly rise!

The air in this tomb sticks to my lungs offers no relief
The moments of comfort are short and brief
the darkness engulfs all of my senses
like the wrapping of guilt in so many confessions
maybe i deserve this twisted fate this ironic end
what i wouldn't give know just for a friend
my body grows weaker as the ordeal carries on
i pray this time tomorrow i will already be gone
laying in this bed i feel its my coffin my casket
don't know where I'm going but ill get there in a hand basket
even though i know its almost over regret seems to be my only companion
inside there is enough sorrow to feel the grand canyon
this late in the end i cant find the strength to speak
so much left unsaid am i wicked or just weak
i think people are here with me voices and a familiar face
the people i love cant follow me know they must stay in this place
if theres more after this life has passed me by
ill wait for you all on the other side
i hope I've left fond memories with you all
you kept me standing after every single fall

She had something special.
Something she just couldn't see.
Something inside that kept her alive.
Something she just couldn't free.
She had something special.
Something the whole world could see.
Something inside that kept them alive.
Something that turns like the sea.
She could have been a doctor.
A noblemen or a priest.
The way she heals the masses,
She could have been a mystic.
She has something special.
Something she gives for free.
Something inside that's kept her alive.
Something I wish were in me.
She has something special.
Something the whole world can see.
Something inside that keeps us alive.
Something we wish she could see.

She sees the pains,
Which her native folk have gained.
She changed from a little girl
To someone who has always had the potential
To change her own little personal inner world.
As a child she never went through
What some other children of her people
Had went through themselves.
She used to never knew how the roots
Of all her people’s issues
Were and are so controversial.
Blessed was she, as a very young child,
For not knowing fully all the reasons why.
Blessed that she is and will always be
Full of feeling, and always quietly wondering “Why?”,
Now she is filled with new knowledge and a developing sense of wisdom
Within her own individual mind.
She is now what she had always
Envisioned and imagined before, since her elementary days.
She is (“I am...”) not entirely that same little girl anymore.
She is now one of the many of that particular kind.
Within her imagination is a longed
Wanting of finally revealing
The truths she has discovered and
How her people must change for the better.
Throughout her whole life, which she’s lived through so far,
She maintains a heart filled with feelings,
A mind filled with knowledge
And a slight emotional immaturity as representation
That her inner child self is still alive on the inside.
Her inner and past child self (who was different from all the rest,
But was also similar to them when at their best).
Never truly knew how far she’d come in life.
(As of right now and forever into the future)
How she has grown and maintained herself
Is how she had made that (her) inner voice in her head and
Had also long ago already acknowledged her true self.
She still stands in her own believing faith and faith in herself
And her lack of prejudice is what makes her naive thinking
Make her own days in her life far brighter than what others say
As they discourage her from doing
Or trying to pursue something grand and part of a divine plan.
Even after times and tribulations involving doubting tremble.
Blessed she is for being so whole in her own presumed thoughts,
Blessed she is for logical thinking based on emotion and feelings.
Blessed she will always be, for Christ himself said to a woman
(who was suffering from something for more than 12 years),
“Your faith is what made you whole.”
Now she thinks...
“Grateful and blessed I am, to the point of tears of joy and sorrow of how I used to doubt.
I now forever know what my life will be like beyond tomorrow.”

Sleepless and confused, my mind wonders around like a lost child,
all this gray and rain makes me think suicidal.
Having to do the same stuff over and over again is pissing me off,
so i lay away to this sound of the beat i got playing so soft.
My only escape is and every will be is this beat,
trust me it can put on a good show so have your self a seat.
It will rock your world from the wonders it can do to you,
cause this sound is from the heart and soul and that is true.
Most people don't believe me that music can change a persons life,
it's only cause they have never experienced a good fight.
A fight for there own life, and the only thing that brought them back was music,
but they still refuse to admit that it's not magic.
So go put on a set of headphones and tell listen to a beat or two,
cause by the time you are done i will be asking you if it aint true.
So that's what i am about to go do is put on a set of headphones and listen through,
cause it's not what i can do but what the music can do to you.

A bad play
On a deep and dark September
Gazing from these bleachers
To that ref who blew that call
On a freshly painted court in the middle of fall
I am A Jock
I am A Flock
I've got balls
A fortress deep and plenty
That none will discinagrate
For friendship brings me joy
It's laughter from my best friend Roy
I am A Jock
I am A Flock
Don't talk hate
For I've heard much before
It's resting in my head
And I'll try not to wake
So It doesn't make you cry
For if I never would of put on that cup
You've never heard awwwww shut up
I am A Jock
I am A Flock
I have my hooks
And my cup to protect me
I am such a world charmer
Hiding behind an ump
So another won't bump
I touch no one and he better not touch me
I am A Jock
I am A Flock
And a Jock feels no pain
And a flock seems to die
This is off spin
To Simon And Garfunkle's
I am A Rock LOL

I went to the valley lookin' for a dime
a nickel's all I found baby ain't it a crime
I went to the valley hopin' I'd find you
I hoped you'd find me too
I went to the river lookin' for a name
a mirror's all I found baby this ain't a game
one time a devil two times a sin
I hope you'll let me in
Woke from a dream I didn't have no place
cool wind vanished without a trace
life went and played me for a fool
that's why I need you
I went to the fact'ry lookin' for some yarn
'fore I knew it I was ripped and torn
tied up in tragedy but don't feel no pain
I got your blood in my veins
I went to to the valley lookin' for a dime
a nickel's all I found baby ain't it a crime
I went to the valley without a clue
I'm so happy I found you

There is too much fear in the world these days,
Fear of the unknown, scared in soo many ways!
Phobias of spiders, mice, rats and bats,
Are you frightend of nothing? Why are you scared of that?
Scared of oppression? And the way they use aggression?
Are they messing with your head, using psychic suggestion?
Wrestling with your doubts will only lead to fear,
Always looking into shadows.. scared that something's always near.
You're winding yourself up! There's no reason to be scared,
But it's never as it seems.. so you'd better be prepared.
Because if you're feeling fear, it could be.. you're not ready,
With your trembling legs, and butterflies in your belly.
It's not so strange, that lots of people fear pain,
Being boiled alive, with needles stuck into your brain,
You've got to be careful, I'm afraid to say,
Be quick to make your mind up, to fight or run away.
Would you fill your pants, with a gun to your head?
Now, that's REAL fear.. you could be dead, enougth said!
Some could find your nerves and make you scream for weeks,
They can teach you about pain and how it reaches new peaks.
But the ones like that.. are fearful too,
Of justice, revenge, and the human rights crew.
They should be scared! I wanna see their faces white,
'Cause they even kidnap kids and slip away into the night!
Now I'll get swept away, as it floods from me,
See, some of these emotions, are as deep as the sea,
Some wanna get a gun, and hunt these sick suckers,
And get them on their knees and say PRAY MOTHERF%%%%%!
See this is the crux.. this is the bottom line,
If they catch you doing that, then it's you that's doing time,
It's never black & white, it's not easy to see..
There are so many fears, it's all part of being free.
Are you scared of the dark, because that's how it began?
Are you scared that it links you to the earliest man?
Who had to hunt to eat, had to kill to stay alive,
And did what they had to, so this race could all survive.
The things to be scared of are the things inside,
You can struggle and fight, but you can never run or hide,
So walk down the street with your head held high,
And face down fear.. because we're ALL gonna die!
But the opposite of fear though.. is to be brave,
Who knows how many lives you could save.
The futures unknown, and we all face change,
It is all just a part of being free-range.

You let this thing take a hold of you, control of you
Dictating your actions like a puppet without strings
Taking you down the road of the weak
Unable to believe what yourself,speaks
Destroying your body from the inside out
Subconsciously making you scream, "Let me Out"!
Your a shining star on the verge of a disaster
Stop it before it gets what its after
Admitting the lies to the ones you love
The first step in becoming what you need to become
Seeking out the help you need to save your soul
is the bravest thing in this world,that i know
Your a shining star that needs to shine
Dont let it burn out
Stop it,Scream,
"Let me out!, Let me out!
To be a measure of a man
You gotta take a stand
Gotta take control
Gotta find the strength, on your own
Be that shining star
that i know you are
Gotta fight the fight
You gotta right to your life
Keep fighting
Fighting for your life............

God is Love
The sweetest ever can break a heart
Let not forever depend on how you
Start. The words of man changes in
A day so don’t hold anyone for what
They will say. Let go anyone who is not heaven sent
Chasing after will send your soul to hell.
Let Holy Ghost get you high
Fall into worship loud in praise
God is Love for all your days. You
See yourself as a wreck but God see
The best. And Jesus deserve the credit
For that. Without him we all will be dead,
We will be dead, thank you Lord for the blood you
Shed. So don’t let the enemy tell you to take your life
Away. Because in the morning there is a brighter day.
Live and not die and proclaim his works. Our testimony
Is meant to help someone else out.
I Love you
Is what God said.
Lust is not love in the bed.
Inter word wisdom is greater than the conscience in your head
Holy Spirit voice is a loud soft voice that can be easily tread.
Don’t be tempted, don’t be tempted, by the I love yous
For nothing so dangerous shall overpower the God in you.
He calls unto the deep even when felt dead. We all felt drowned and
Chopped up like soup. In our worst he is there to carry us through. The only
Thing that shall be printed in bold letters in life is the TRUTH.
He Loves you
And will never stop
God is Love
Yes God is love
Oh my God
How I love , love
God is so faithful to me and true to me
He love me more than I love myself. He
Has done more than prove it to me. Lost
I will never be because I found love inside of
Thy. Who is the one that lives inside of me.
Thinking I could see and had it all by myself. But God
Came and open my eyes to show me he is the greatest
Love ever. The one who covers you when you are not acting like you
Suppose. Wipe those sins and make you look like gold.
My soul has been delivered now I’m not my own worst
Enemy. The road to hell is very broad and long. But thank you
Lord I am on the narrow road. Which lead to heaven, heaven
God is love and he wants to include you. Give him your life
So he can give you a heart. The desire you can have of him
Is so sharp. God is a love song and the rest are a copy.
The devil try do give you something amputated, insulated, polluted and
Diluted. Its only a Judaist. So don’t participate let him hang himself. He
Can only do what you allow him to. So put an end to it. Under your feet
Step on his neck in it. Give him back his depression wake up and don’t slumber
For God is love forever and ever.
God is Love
Yes God is love
Oh my God
How I love , love

Winding road, set me free,
take me where I am supposed to be.
See that flame? It calls to me,
showing me, where I need to be.
That flame I know, is Kerosene,
just down the road within the trees.
See that flag? It's mocking me,
tonight that flag meets Kerosene.
So follow me to this place I know,
believe me, I was born ready to go.
I see you fall upon your knees,
pray to your god to hear your dreams,
what you've heard, ain't what it seems..
We will stick with sin, and Kerosene.

Lord, use me
to accomplish your purpose,
and make a sower out of me...
to multiply these scattered seeds;
miracles come in many forms:
in blessings of prosperity!
What I gave was all I had,
and what I will receive
will be more
than abundance!
Defying danger and changelling death,
I walked straight into the wilderness,
but nothing scared me in my pursue;
afraid of turning the pages of the Bible
and not feeling sympathy for myself,
I ventured all and got lost...
my innocence turned into lust,
which gave me pleasure without any rule!
Lord, use me
to drive many away from foolishness,
and as You forgave me of my impurities...
they will see Your mercy
as clear as morning;
and reject sin as a hateful thing!
Lord, use me
to declare the freedom that came with change,
and anyone can be part of it...regardless of age;
Lord, use me and let me love in humility!

Let's go hand n' hand,
racing to the heavens
I can feel the storm;
inside you closing in
on me.
Here I will have appeared
to have fallen on the fiery;
horizon in your quake that
makes me weak.
One quick gleam back and
I knew I had to keep this:
love so unique n' defined
alive above the snowy
clouds of your mind.
As I ponder to re~unite the
shimmering moon, with only
you and I side~by~side,
reaching in to grab for the stars,
Against, A blistering sun I
can say that our love will,
never burn out,
For we have each~other
always n' forever.... Where I
shout your name across the
Sky.
I dedicate this to a loving poet: RP
<3

(The final star isn't born!)
There is a star shining in the skies above you.
There's a hell that likes to sink inside you,
and there’s a ambition that stands beside you,
and a dream that likes to catch you.
Within these dark eyes,
is a drop of our belief.
As you fly in these blue skies.
you’ll soon be up there in relief.
With the world in your hands.
Take a chance and take a stand.
Tell the world another great story
and with your stories in hand.
Take the controls, take command
and you are the star with the best glory.
There’s been a mirror held to my face.
Your face is what I see in place.
I want to see it again and again.
You are the dream of the girls,
come and take us just for a twirl.
We just like to know how’s it been.
Your are the star in the sky.
We will come to help you fly.
lets take on this dream together,
no matter whats going on with the weather.
(The final star isn't born!)

I am fierce
I am strong
I am one of a kind
I am weird
Sometimes wrong
I'll still reach for the sky
And I won't anyone bring me down
As my tears
Turn to song
I learned how to survive
I'm standing strong

Sitting on a smooth rock
as waves crash into it...foaming,
and splashing their salty water on me;
it is warm and soothing after burning
on dunes of sand...listening to rock,
and one of the songs caught my fancy...
The dreamer who follows the stars
is an unloved soul running from time,
searching for secrets in this Universe...
but finding only sympathy for himself;
he can see the sea-birds in flight,
and wishes more peace at every sunset!
This pen dashes all thoughts off,
to relieve this mind of unwanted clutter,
clearly seeing beyond the noiseless shore;
and like survivors of a shipwreck:
I let out a deep breath, to feel life
at its best ,and joyfully play my clarinet...
The dreamer who follows the stars
loses their traces into space,
they go further and further and disappear from his sight;
he counted them all when they stood still and shone
above the ragged canyons of a dreary moon in silverlight,
and how can he hope for their return and not dream alone?
Fugitive darkness gives away to dazzling sun-rays,
the shrills of the gathered sea-gulls, by the beach-house,
bring me back to an existence of joyful laughs;
I am repulsively sad to have fallen into sleep,
to have missed moments that could have inspired, indeed,
another song for the dreamer who followed the stars!

I’ve blown half my life away
Given my dreams away
All in the name of something called love
Would I go back in time
Recapture my own mind
That wouldn't be me or what I'm made of
So Time take me onward
Upward and homeward
Time be the healer of all I’ve done wrong
Don’t leave me in defeat
I followed my heartbeat
Time be the giver of love when I’m gone
Seems I’ve no fight left
I guess that it’s just best
To try to set right all that’s amiss
Can’t promise tomorrow
Don’t want you to follow
Just find remembrance in more than my kiss
So Time take me onward
Upward and homeward
Time be the healer of all I’ve done wrong
Don’t leave me in defeat
I followed my heartbeat
Time be the giver of love when I’m gone
Time be the giver of love when I’m gone

I'm sitting, drinking a few beers and thinking,
Wondering why, my soul seems to be shrinking,
I'm trying to link this life, all together,
But I never seem to solve this most cryptic endeavor!
I've got so far! Do I really have to wait?
It's late, and I really hate to be a burden mate,
But I get frustrated, is there nothing I can do,
To make time go faster.. honestly, I can help you!
What do we need? Mankind must decide,
We need one vision.. to which we're all allied,
One side, one truth to what's right and wrong,
We know what's going on.. it's time for us to get along!
I know the truth, I'm not afriad to say!
Whilst I am still around, they will not win the day.
My mind is too quick, too slick, fast and thick,
When they lay it on the line, it will be soo tradgic!
So now I hold on, focus.. and stay strong,
Wondering why, it all, had to go wrong,
All I really want, is the best I can achieve,
Just please leave me to my thoughts.. finding out what I believe.

For Bob Dylan
sheltered from the howling winds of vows and scattered souls and sweltering hate
she is a refuge from the blistering sands of dread and loss and torn and twisted fate
when the emptiness inside becomes an abyss so dark and wild and cold
my words get lost in the jangling alleys where dreams are bought and sold
I met her in those alleys among the withering roses on a bed of thorns
and she filled me up with poems banishing the scowling moments and their baleful scorns
now I lie awake and wish that I could sleep and drift away into the maze of her dream
but slumber has fled and slipped the noose around my words as they thrash around and scream
words that swirl around and around like that scarlet scarf wrapped around her face
she's a mystery still as she will always be while I sift through this empty desolate space
the storm it broke and ceased and shuffled my words as they drifted forlornly into the chasm of the dead
leaving me here still and mute and frantic as I try to pick up the pieces of all the words that have been said
far too many far too often far too conceited and far too proud
for I failed to hear the stillness of beauty as I rambled along barking my words out aloud
she hushes me now as she hushed me then in the cobwebbed tunnels of the past
while I weep more words in blood and ink onto dried parchment meant never to last
so tell her that her whiskey has been greedily gulped down and now that I am soberly drunk
I see her songs and hear her breath reaching down into my mouldy abode of hapless funk
fare-thee-well for now as I slide into the scribbled hubris of another battered rhyme
dazed by the glaring embers as they scorch the moments of quickly fading time
and if tomorrow finds me here still shell-shocked and drained in body and in mind
tell her that her wine has slipped through the loose knots that bind
tying me to this place of sanity and insanity all rolled into one
while all is numb and scarred from the deed that has been done
and as I flee recklessly chasing away myself from me once more
she'll know the words for its a song that's been sung far too many times before
(for bob dylan)

You bring joy to my life
And I'm proud to be your wife
To cherish you
To play with you
So, come and you will see
The happiness you bring to me
You are the one, my kind
It was you I had to find
That smile upon your face
Takes me to that special place
Right where I want to be
With just you and me
You bring joy to my life
And I'm proud to be your wife
To find in you
All the magic inside of you
You are my kind
It was you I had to find
There is no end to our time
Only with you
It's you

I am the confidant of many,
a healer of weary souls,
they come to me with questions,
and tales of their ample woes.
I advise and console their broken,
and bleeding hearts,
for I know how it feels,
to be ripped and utterly torn apart.
What can one so humble as I;
I often conclude with query short and sweet;
do for a true master-poet;
who muses others as he speak?

I like my steak rare With lots of pepper because well is not so well when dry.
I run in the rain so I don't have feel my sweat on my body.
It's true I wake up before the sun rises, I beat him every time.
I'm already filled with sand, so ill be one less the sandman has to work on.
I'm already at my highest peak before the stats appear.
I'm already down hill before the pile of shit. Im still at the top of the mountain waiting for that one chick to stop singing and get over this hill.
At the End of the day I like to end with my coffee and smoke the same way- black and mild.

There’s someone made for me
I feel it from my bone
I know you are out there
So call me over phone
And make an appointment
I am still home alone
Understand my feelings
Don’t let me sob and groan
You are my reality
And imagination
Show your face like the sun
In my life’s horizon
Waiting for you too long
Has made me like a stone
This song is like a bird
Baby it has now flown
With music’s tender wings
To the known and unknown

In my fervent heart,
You knew I treasured you
But you didn’t return those tender feelings
Just see the fumes arise from the consuming fire
Because my wicked desires wasted away into embers
I love you…I love you…These feelings are ever so new!
I LOVE YOU…I love you…These feelings are always true!
You knew I honestly adored you…oh yeah; I always did from the start
But you don’t consider those mild feelings—you wrecked those bits by bits
Ah! Now I’m crammed into the ascending fire, splintering me with the strokes of death
Because of my virtuous desires, I’m wasting away into the pit of corruption
I thought you were encompassed with my passionate kisses
But you wanted to chase after your callous blisses, now I’m faced with crises
I detest the thought of adoring you…but I have to admit—I love you!
I love you…I love you with all of my heart! Do you love me too?
I know the desires that I have constructed for you never occurred in your heart
I know in the bottom of my heart that you were only enticed by your sick pleasures
You’re dumping me into the raging fire and you’re a sneaky little liar
Because I ain’t lying like you do deceitfully to me—I’m in love and I can’t draw back my desire
You brought magnificence in my eyes, comforting angel
But I’m subsiding into the cavernous fire
Because I surrender to my legit desire
How could I free from the embrace that yanks on to me?
You brighten up my dreams and set me free from reality’s calamity
I love you…I love you…These feeling relieve me from the blue!
I LOVE YOU…I love you…I adore your every existence—do you get the clue?
You knew I kept this feeling inside for so long
Nevertheless, I feel that I belong
In your heart…In His heart…
In my heart…we’ll never depart!
You are my true endeavor
And I wanna win your heart forever!
You’ll always be loved because you’re above beautiful
But, you don’t believe this love will survive in this stranded palace
But I’ll attempt to win you with all of my might and I’ll defeat the malice
Our boundless love is like two fireflies floating in the midnight sky
But you disturbed our greetings and you didn’t even accept the feelings I felt for you
Why did you blow away our interweaved feelings of passion
And blew them away into the heartless fire?
My precious love, why did you diminish my eternal desire?
You knew I worshiped you
In my sensitive heart

Run away Run Away No matter how Far
You will never escape my dark hands of faith
Wicked and Damned you are my Sin
Darling Don't you Tremble when I embrace you
The cold and Dark may fill every marrow
But at least there were here For You
Tell Me how they So Loved You
Tell Me All of your fears
When the world is done
and all their trust will render Undone
I will always be with you
And Now We cease to Exist
Luciferia
I can see your Misery
Just follow me and believe Me
We are The Damned
Outcasts of this Natural World
We are The Damned
Hold on I'll show you what you're waiting for
We Are The Damned
Join Our Dark Reality
When you know the choice the Wind Will come right through
And you will See what you're really meant to Be
Draining into the Night
Shivering With the Smallest of Frights
I am the Ghost In Your Dreams
I watch You Through the Window
Yes that is your name
Written In Blood
Are You Scared?
Are You Suffering?
The Dark fate is what was Meant to Be
This is what happens when you
Brake Us with Words
Destroy us with sights
Twists are minds
Set our will On Fire
I can see your Misery
Just follow me and believe Me
We are The Damned
Outcasts of this Natural World
We are The Damned
Hold on I'll show you what you're waiting for
We Are The Damned
Join Our Dark Reality
When you know the choice the Wind Will come right through
And you will See what you're really meant to Be
I can see your Misery
Just follow me and believe Me
We are The Damned
Outcasts of this Natural World
We are The Damned
Hold on I'll show you what you're waiting for
We Are The Damned
Join Our Dark Reality
When you know the choice the Wind Will come right through
And you will See what you're really meant to Be

If you cry out my name
I'll come running to your door
I'll be there when the world walks out
When you're broken up inside
I will be by your side
Hold you through the night
Be there when it rains
There will be storms, I promise you
But I swear I will help you get through
Cause it can't rain forever
I'll follow you, whatever you do
My arm around your neck
Your head on my shoulder
Hold you tight
Squeeze back in you the will to carry on
The spark, the fire, the fight
If you cry out my name
I'll come running to your door
There will be storms, I promise you
But I swear I will help you get through
Cause it can't rain forever
I'll follow you, whatever you do
You can never be alone
Cause a part of me is tied to you
Just know that
I'm never alone when I think of you
I'll be there every single second
Every single day
For the rest of my life
You're an amazing person
One of these days, I know
I hope
You will see more in me than the girl who is your friend
Cause I'll be there for you more than any one in the end

We're getting ready, for a big operation.
It's all across the nation.
And you know, we'll be working hard..
Motivate-Vate-Vate-Vate...
Keep on going.
Keep on rolling.
Keep it moving everyday..
We'll generate some power.
We'll work it every hour.
Work our fingers to the bone..
Motivate-Vate-Vate-Vate...
Keep on going.
Keep on rolling.
Keep it moving everyday.
We can work in every muscle.
So we got to really hustle.
Till the legs and arms get sore.
Motivate-Vate-Vate-Vate..
Keep on going.
Keep on rolling.
Keep it moving everyday...

Will I say: “I made a difference”?
Will I say: that I stood out?
Will I say: “I gave it my all, beyond the shadow of a doubt”?
When it is my time that comes, and when the end is near
Will I accept the outcome?
Will I have any fear?
I’ve made so many mistakes
My judgment’s not been right
I’ve burned so many bridges
But still, I see a light!
It seems like every time I want to close the door, there you are, you hold the key,
and I don’t know what for
You take me higher
You are the one
I know you hold the key
You take me higher
You are the one
What am I supposed to be?
I am here
You are there
I am here
You are there
You take me higher
You are the one
I know you hold the key
You take me higher
You are the one
What am I supposed to be?
Will I say: “I made a difference”?
Will I say: that I stood out?
Will I say: “I gave it my all, beyond the shadow of a doubt”?
When it is my time that comes, and when the end is near
Will I accept the outcome?
Will I have any fear?
I’ve made so many mistakes
My judgment’s not been right
I’ve burned so many bridges
But still, I see a light!
You take me higher
You are the one
I know you hold the key
You take me higher
You are the one
What am I supposed to be?

Dream of a world,
Where there is peace.
No girls,
That admit to defeat.
You can walk on water,
Not worrying of drowning.
You can open your locker,
And look around see no one frowning.
I walk up to you.
I study your face.
I can see if your blue,
Or feel out of place.
I look into your eyes.
Somehow I'm suprised,
You haven't seen in yet.
You haven't seen the best,
Of me.
It's a dream,
Or a nightmare,
For which you don't wake.
I feel like a vampire,
Getting stabbed with a stake.
Why can't you look into my eyes,
And see I love you?
Dream of a world,
Filled with war.
See a dead girl,
And be dead poor.
A million things,
Happen at once.
You have to see,
The best of me.
I walk up to you.
I study your face.
I can see if your blue,
Or feel out of place.
I look into your eyes.
Somehow I'm suprised,
You haven't seen in yet.
You haven't seen the best,
Of me.
It's a dream,
Or a nightmare,
For which you don't wake.
I feel like a vampire,
Getting stabbed with a stake.
Why can't you look into my eyes,
And see I love you?
Think about love.
Think about death.
You'll see a dove,
On your last breath.
Wake me with a kiss,
So, I can see your eyes,
With such bliss,
Before I die.
Listen to my fairytale,
Before I leave,
Before I go to Yale.
I walk up to you.
I study your face.
I can see if your blue,
Or feel out of place.
I look into your eyes.
Somehow I'm suprised,
You haven't seen in yet.
You haven't seen the best,
Of me.
It's a dream,
Or a nightmare,
For which you don't wake.
I feel like a vampire,
Getting stabbed with a stake.
Why can't you look into my eyes,
And see I love you?
I can see,
You don't love me,
But can you stop,
The Dreams, The Nightmares?
There's something inside of me,
I can't hide from.
It's my fate,
But I'm too late.
Dream of the possibilities,
Of you and me.
Look into my eyes.
Think twice.
What do you think?
About me?
Now.

Introduction: A mother is such a wonderful poetry...She is the compass and blessing for her children and no matter what, in our hearts - she's the rose that never dies.

The moment I first opened my eyes,
I saw your glowing face in shine
You took me in your graceful arms,
And poured my life in peaceful charm
You sacrificed more than I can count,
To raise me and strengthen my ground
Every time you heard me scream,
You took off from your every meal
You fulfilled all my needs and dreams,
You mean the world and more to me
A teacher, a playmate,
An answer, a guide of fate
You reach out and pull me back,
Whenever I get lost off track
You love me like no other,
Words just simply can’t explain, you are the best mother
With you I never pretend, by your values I transcend
You help me get my courage tight,
You aid me to my wisdom right
You are my loving mother,
Someone I have to share my thoughts
Always you know, always you care,
Always you feel, always you heal
Your tender smile lights up my life,
From doubts that keep me captive at night
Forever in my heart, you reside
You care so much and feel so deep,
You’re just everything I need
I’m above grateful to have you in my life,
As every time I think of you, I always feel revived.

Also Entry For Izzy Gumbo's Solfege Contest

I kno a lot of people that wonder the same thing.
Am I the only one who did this ?
So I wanna ask you have you ever so people kno tat they are not alone.
Have you ever said something that you wish yu could take back?
Have you ever wished that you had the courage to tell someone how you truly felt?
Have you ever wished that you could just be you without being judged?
Have you ever regretted something that you did?
Have you ever wished that you could just be loved unconditionally?
Have you ever got tired of people xpecting you live up to there expectations?
Have you ever stolen something better yet
Have you ever stolen someone's heart and then broke it?
Have you ever had your heart broke, do you remember the pain?
Have you ever had something come up missing or
Caused something to come up missing?
Have you ever cried yourself to sleep at night?
Have youever tried to end your own life?
Have you ever been take advantage of and mistreated?
Have you ever letsomeone control you and the things you do?
Have you ever misjudged someone?
Have you ever wished that you would have taken the time to get to know someone
better?
Have you ever done something out of the ordinary?
Have you ever stepped out on faith?
Have you ever let others know that you believe in God?
Have you ever spoke about God in the streets?
Have ou ever let your light shine?
Have you ever been there for others in their time of need?
I can continue to ask you haveyou ever to so many different things,
So I'll stop hea.
I just had to ask,
Have you ever?

I can take more than you can dish out
Charge me full-bore
And see what I’m talking about
Find yourself head first in the ground
Without a sound
Not even a peep
From the weak surrounding me
Strength is my only option left
Everyone else tried their best
Before giving up, I guess
The power within me
Will give me the will to be
Stronger than he or she
Two against one, few against many
The battle has begun
But the war is never ending
Hell man!
You think you can understand
How the world just keeps repeating?
Think you have your "stones" in hand
Ready to take on the master plan?
You must be kidding!
At one time I was slang’in
Eight-ball’in and gang-bang’in
Roll’in hard, liv’in high
The one that could not be outdone
Takes the title & packs up his guns
-- And you wanna know why? –
‘Cause life is do or die!
And there comes a day when you have to say
Good-bye……and walk away (undefeated)
-Boz-
My entry for Christophers Shedding my Skin contest

Baby girl I know it seems so sad
God always change his plan don't get dreary
cause in this game we gotta improvise
so my angel lady dry up them eyes
and it's so easy to let shed um tears
just by remminecsing on the lesser years
weed smoke is takin on some crazy shapes
got pistols peircin shields sinin' and hate
sadly predicting falls comin' to late
anxious puff by puff to live out or fate
now mustaches growin on um babies
men young faced and our life is gone crazy
who run da streets if the glock do it's job
evil exist's and the outcome is mobs
to be a nation of adolescents
cause all our men is some convelescents
but I can't stress in the evil ways
I keep on prayin for some better days

Verse One: Do you ever look into the mirror
and hate what you see?/ Do you ever want
to be the girl next door?/ But there is only one
of her/ And there has to be one of you/
Chorus: Because you're original!/ You're one of
a kind/ You're the best you there can be/ I can't
be you/ You can't be me/ Only YOU can/ Be original/
be/ just be/ just be you
Verse Two: Don't change who you are to him or her/
They can be them/ You be you/ You are perfect the
the way you are/ Don't settle just to make the par
Chorus
Verse Three: You're a gem/ You're a piece of priceless
treasure/ You're magic/ You're you/ and don't change
that for the world
Chorus X2

I sometimes shed a tear and a secret smile every time I see your face
then grin like a naughty child full of innocence and grace
my memory is growing old but is filled with thoughts of you
of our first kiss our first home and when we said I do
I releived your in a better place with your new home and family
to see you smile now from a distance is an image that ill keep
keep locked so deep in my heart that it will never fade away
and ill turn my world around that will be my fate
now im walking away
not stop till tomorrow
walking away from me myself and I
I tried to block out thought of you so I didnt loose my mind
or reliving the past each and every day from 6 till half past nine
all id do is look out the window and roll the stars and the moon
into playdough in my hand
then finaly I would fall down into a pit that was my time
where nobody could hear me scream or even hear me cry
walking away
for a new tomorrow
walking away from me myself and I
so its with a new day that I breath
to open up a new world with my heart no longer on my sleave
to live for the day is human not to dwell upon the past
to wish now for the future not to wish this day was my last
it s been a whole year now since I went away to try and stop my dreams
from overcoming my emotions and making my heart bleed
now as i lye upon the beech in spain I just offer you a prayer
that you dont end up like me in a land of pain and dispair
walking away
for a new tomorrow
walking away from me myself and I
walking away
for a new tomorrow
walking away from me myself and I

My head is heavy
with loneliness
as i sail into the moon
watching my reflection
run in circles
over and over i see
the deepest part of me
become lit with enmity
and endless misery
for it's difficult to look forward
when you live in a memory
and it's hard to kill
the voices that torture you
when those voices
come from your own mind
Why must I
hurt myself so?
hoping for a better tomorrow
when i make it
so it never shall be so?
I must find a way
to outsmart my sadness
to look past my own
imperfections
to let my feelings go
to let go of my fear
and to finally let go
of the thought of finding
a better world
So from this day forth
and this night that is to fall
I will set my sail forever
I will never stop moving forward
and i shall ride the lightning
and swim in the tsunami
because i can overcome
any odds that i already have not faced
I will find the land and shores of bliss
just speaking of the thought
makes me taste the sands
of times to come
follow me into the abyss
and i promise
the shore awaits

When theres a knock on the door
will you be ready?
For all the things
That's outside the
world you live in?
When the telephone rings
will you be ready?
For everything which is being told
At the end of the line?
When they wake you up
will you be ready?
For the stuff tat happens in reality
And not the for the dreams you hope for?
When they open your eyes
will you be ready?
To see things as they are truly are,
Rather than what you've heard?
When you enter the dark tunnel
will you be ready?
To find light at the end of the tunnel?
Be ready...

These people I save
Day and day
They need my aid
They never keep the peace
War, famine and struggle
The only three things they know
Using greed and power
to ramble through life
Shrouding themselves
in false security
and meaningless lies
Denying even to themselves
That they are the reason for things
The reason they whimper and cry
Self genocide
Willing to die
Martyrs for nothing
People always fight
Believing war is right
Indomitable nations
Battle against one another
Waging campaigns of death
to destroy their own people
Race is nothing
When all is the same
Centiant force
Concious spirit
Waits beneath your mind
Power of unbelievable kind
Once you free yourself
War is not the answer
You see your reason for living
You see what it means to be fre

Often there are so many,
questions on my mind.
How? what? Where?When?
answers I do not find.
Trying to figure out,
just what went wrong.
The answers coming someday.
in our heavenly Home.
I just heard the news today,
So depressing to my soul,
Jesus please help us here.
I want the world to know.
the hope that is inside me
could free the fallen man
could fill the deepest woe
and make them whole again.
All the joy that God has,
in store for you and me.
No more crying over there,
in that great eternity.
No more sickness nor strife.
No more pains from this life.
So glad that we'll be free
in our Home eternally.

I have seen a strange conflict
In your deep eyes God knows
Caused by the clash of two
Different and confused chaos
Your inner instinct wants
Me as your guest to accept
But your feminine fears
Doesn’t let you consent
The conflict of good and bad
Confuses you all the time
Your senses are in a fix when
You wander in my rhyme
I cannot help love your heart
And steal into your thought
My feelings have tightened
An inseparable love knot

It was a Friday night, and I took a long walk around
Just to ease my mind which stress seems to surround
It felt so great, the warm breeze hit my face
As I glanced at the constellations shining from the east
So I step forward, and continue to reminisce
Moving silently, to what Atmosphere acknowledges
And the moon moves an sadly grins from the view
As a young kid walks off the emotions he once knew
A cow moo's, I see it standing in the dark
Another sleepless soul, looks like were in the same park
I glance up, just in time to see a comet
Close my eyes and make a wish, maybe I can stop it
And pocket it, cause the luck it holds I need
I'm tired of being out of money for this toll of dreams
I look away, towards the long road ahead of me
Push the memories from my view, and walk into another scene
Now a new scene, I see this young girl of fifteen
Staring in the mirror as a tear reflects from a dream
All she wanted was to be a witness of compassion
Yet instead she became a witness of verbalized aggression
Now she stepped forward, and crossed the lines into depression
Eye's pierced with the tears of absolute neglection
Mentally altered, this girl took thee abuse
Later to encrypt her wrists with a knife she shouldn't use
Another fight, so she turns to a heaven's view
Cries and she prays to a God she never really knew
Never understanding why life takes it's sways
While she sees a loving family when here life turns to gray
So she sneaks out, to walk off all her memories
Walks down a boulevard, yet it's like a country street
Kicks a stone in the light shining from the moon
As I watch in the distance as she walks outta view
Now a Veteran, straight outta World War Two
Stares out the window, with his eyes so blue
Remebering the times as a strong young chap
Now he sit's in his wheelchair, he's now handicap
Cause he can not forget all the blood that was shed
Young growing boys live's end before it begins
Haunted by the image, it now pillages his brain
Can barley even speak, without hearing bullets ring
He dreams of, taking back what he'd seen
A young Jewish boy left slaughtered by his feet
Wondering, what kind of human can achieve
Such a gruesome status, and still be an elite
It penetrates his head, even decades after war
But still he dreams nightmares of both blood and gore
He closes his eyes, and he prays for an escape
From this terror that has haunted him through the life he's made

Simple as that, just love and peace.
Writing for all who need a release.
Writing for those who can't seem to find
A poem that compliments days and nightime.
Dream time comes I wake but don't write.
No need to bother, be silly laugh light.
I plea for comedic, no drama because,
it makes things pecuilar and creates too much buzz.
So the lesson plan today is simply just laugh.
Just peace and love, you hold the bat.

the kingdom
verse) soaring high in the sky is the lord he is looking from his
throne and into the world. love, compassion reigns threw the valley's
for he is looking for his people to come to his castle. o'glorious o

to see your friends but the greatest part of all is this is the end. no
more worrying, no more suffering you will be happy within god's hands.
heaven is a wonderful place for you and me!

What happened to
What we were?
Why did it happen?
I don't know
But I know that
We had a good time
So don't even worry
I don't blame you
I blame them
Well, I'm the scapegoat
But I don't care
It's ok
I don't mind, I'll bear it
I'm the scapegoat
Driving dirty used to be
So fun to us
But now its blasphemy
What do they know anyway?
But if we did it again
We'd probably get caught
I don't blame you though
Don't even worry
You're a good guy
Well, I'm the scapegoat
But I don't care
It's ok
I don't mind, I'll bear it
I'm the scapegoat
They wear their suits
But I don't wear mine
They look clean cut
While I look scruff
They read the paper
I do what I should
The times were good though
They came and left
Left to early I'd say
Well, I'm the scapegoat
But I don't care
It's ok
I don't mind, I'll bear it
I'm the scapegoat
So I paid their fines
And broke my back
Doing pointless tasks
But now I know
That loving this
Wasn't wrong, it was right
So if they tell me otherwise
I'll turn a shoulder
And I'll leave it all behind
Being a scapegoat wasn't bad
Just another experience
I'm glad it happened
I'm glad I'm clean
I'm the scapegoat

Oh day of promised rapture from final resting place,
The first desire of heart to see my Savior’s face!
The beckoning of trumpet will pierce the Eastern skies,
I yearn so much to greet him and behold him with mine eyes!
Shall I awake in dew clad morn or velvet star-lit night,
Anticipating robe and crown and wings of silver bright!
Enduring grace, sweet love divine did span thou earth’s creation,
Great Son of God who lived to die for sinners soul salvation!
I long to hold thy nail scarred hand and kiss your thorn pricked brow,
Though birthed in sin he snatched me from Hell’s fiery bowel!
Twas stately mansions glistening in heaven’s glory gleam,
Their beauty was astounding as nought I’d ever seen.
The prophets were conversing of ancient days of old,
While children laughed and played on shining streets of gold.
A reunion day is coming dear loved ones and missed friends,
Where we’ll always be together and time shall never end!
Nor tear did dim an eye, and daily cares were gone,
Thousands gathered there to join in angels’ song!
Hallelujah to the Highest, holy praises we did sing,
To lift our voices as one to Christ, The Mighty King!

Its easy to forget, amidst the frenzy of the season,
That all this “sound and fury,” it happens for a reason:
That words, we fear, fall short somehow expressing what we’re feeling
And gifts will say, another way, how fortunate we are.
I know that I forget, sometimes, to thank you for your kindness
But knowing you, as I do, broadens my horizons.
I’ve become a better man, a better human being.
I won’t forget to show or say how fortunate we are.
Thank you for your friendship, thank you for your time.
Thank you for accepting me with all these quirks of mine,
But don’t forget that I am here when life, it sends you reeling.
I’ll find a way to help you see how fortunate we are,

The Deluge.
finally the deluge
skipping in rhythmic heartbeats
the softly sprinkling rain
hums and lulls and cajoles and comforts
the weary evening
glistening leaves
on beaming trees
blades of grass shimmer
like rough diamonds strewn about
and settling in my heart
is the softly lilting touch
of peace
of truth
of the rain clearing away
the debris of this passing day

This poem is about the life and feelings of a poet/poetess.
In a poet's world there is heaven and hell,
and many stories to tell.
There are mysteries to solve and codes to unravel,
many roads to travel.
There are confessions of yesterday, today, and tomorrow.
Storms of rejection, dejection, and sorrow.
Reflections of love, marriage, and romance.
Expressions of flamboyance and dance.
In a poet's world there is music of rhythm and verse,
imaginations of all things on earth.
Songs, sonnets, lyrics, and beats,
gardens of flowers and of trees.
There are times of drama, prose, and learning.
A constant desire burning.
Laughter and tears and feelings of fear, all in a poet's world.
There are influences to work, criticism and hurt.
Achievement and goal, warmth and cold,
visions of life and death,
and times to be quiet.
In a poet's world there is religion, science, and belief,
faith, hope, war, and peace.
Emotions of anger and tempers that rage,
many characters on stage.
In a poet's world there are promises and dreams,
nightmares and screams,
humbleness, happiness, and philosophy,
a lifetime of writing for infinity.
It's an angel who speaks to the poet's soul,
to tell the world all his heart holds.

She looked at me with her eyes
Healing everything even my lies
Even when I am descending
She never gives me an ending
All becomes peaceful with no pain
Not pushing her away I gain
Acting if she is my own
Never she is harder than stone
Generating pure spirit is a cure
Evening lights shine so pure
Love of all things she holds
Some love stands in time so bold

I carry with in my will
The story’s of men
A cold winter chill
On a summer day
couldn’t comfort
The story’s of men
I put stride in my fears and walked away my tears
I remember the scent of your hair
Like yesterdays air
I go to sleep
and awaken with the same head ache
In a dead lay
I felt that way sometimes
I don’t talk much
And I don’t listen
Today I stood sound
My heart just thought it stiffened
Most pictures we see are black and white
August for change
Can you see the black in white
At my counterpoint and I’m invisible
A Camelot to her roses
A portrait of warmth in the cold
A poet at best
Her’s at worst
When obscurity was a curse
Relinquishing the scent of an aged piano
The melody it tunes
Century’s of counting souls
Any crisis can turn to an opportunity
What is it in man that looks for what it can’t see

Soaring high, as the American's eagle pride
higher now than ever before
once more, elevated nearly every last peak
how to mistreat the meek, weak unguided son
why can't you offer unrequited love to everyone?
oh, lord save me I cannot escape the agents
that take hold of me,
they surround me...
So I levitate
up and unbounded
seems I've once again found it
an escape, from an uneasy paradise
This burst explosion
A never ending love-peace energy
welling up inside
me like an underwater atom bomb
forever and ever I shall go on
accordingly unknown
An art recession?
let me make a correction
this boy's a legend
from birth on up banging hard
breaking his way through the wall
life can sometimes often throw up
come crashing hard
on the ground I wake
knowing the feeling
to lose everything
except from what I learned
from well known legends
who made the wings I fly high on

Did He die in vain, leaving no visible trace to remember Him by?
Did He fall into Satan's deceitful trap and let him continue to lie?
We can be victorious as Christ was and become immortal,
let the evildoers destroy themselves with deeds so immoral!
Did His deviate from the holy path and be easily deceived by false glory,
no, He did not give into the Angel of Darkness, but resisted with hostility.
We can be victorious as Christ was...truly divine and humble,
let others mock us with their irrationality, we will not tremble!
Did He speak against the tyrants of His day, to be praised for being bright?
No, He did not...but with His whip He cleaned a temple so impure and dark!
We can be victorious as Christ and be part of His prophesied kingdom,
and marked by true modesty and humbleness, we'll lose our humanism!
Did He want to die as an impostor to satisfy the ego of a would-be God?
No, He did not seek glorification without merit and be called the Word!
We can be victorious as Christ was by denouncing all vanity and wickdeness,
not being crucified on Calvary as He was, but be resurrected as Lazarus was!

The American Flag, is red,white and blue
To you, I salute, this is what I do.
The American Flag, you stand so free
To you, I salute, with love from me.
The American Flag, nicknamed Old Glory
To you, I salute, a flag with a story.
The American Flag, you changed over the years
To you, I salute, with a song and music to our ears.
The American Flag, we display you with pride
To you, I salute, your true colors we do not hide.
The American Flag, what can I say
To you, I salute, each and everyday.
The American Flag, raised by a rope
To you, I salute, you give us hope.

One minute is all I have to say
]what want to happen someday
One chance is given to me
To tell all that I want to see
But I’m scared to grab this opportunity
For in that one minute I might lose my sanity
One minute is all I have to touch you
And kiss you goodnight too
Oblivion might suddenly burst
Then everything might get worst
But I’m scared to grab this opportunity
For in that one minute I might lose my sanity
One minute is my last chance to say
How you broke my heart from the very first day
And how you stole the laughter in my life
When you want another girl to be your wife
Go and grab that bald man, he is a giver
One minute that passes by might be tool ate
But once he turns you can’t ask him to wait
Then this one minute chance is gone forever

"The smile then melts off her face
in a frantic heat of boiling, screaming rage
and trickles down into a pool
of boundless sorrow...."
React like you think they think you should
Whether or not you really feel good
The act will pass on
and so will they
soon enough
Don’t you show your pain
Keep pretending you’re still sane
This life
is a dream
and it’s not long now
‘till we all wake up
======================
Look for the song-----coming soon!

Believe in the magick in the power of each thought. For you are like a lovely
flower, growing in a pot. You can do it, whatever goals you have ever sought
and you can grow your roots and widen yourself to a great big plot. And don't
let yourself be put on the spot. And whatever effort goes out is the same as
you have brought. Takes time sometimes, don't get distraught. It'll be turned
toward you every deed or need you've ever bought. Smile,you'll be happier,
that's what I've learned and I've taught.

Of-gentle beginning-and tender song ... !
That we would gratify love
in its truest affection.
Stand stead fast-
uphold it yield to no other-duty ... !
To-have our-souls' so-identified-unified coexisting-
exclusively-mid-this ... .
To-live, would I die to give the measure of my-soul-
just-to-have this ... once ... !
So place me within, make
me the-essence of-the-art-
lay me down carry me off-
as I would be a child lost
amid the grandeur-
of its promise ... !
Allow this ink to consume us be the
genuine eminence, what we reach-for
through the humble virtue,
heart-of this quill ... !
So all may view soar higher,
and even higher still.
Be captured,
taken within deep-
far and away beyond-
the bitter part of this world,
into the true benignity,
flourishing and forever evolving,
amid themselves ... !
Yes help me
build me up,
mold me-yes-
come find me ... !
Trick me friend by slight
of hand bend me-
yes break me down
shatter me again,
and again truly I care-not ... !
Fill this paper in-its preparedness ...
innocence ... verity, hope ... with the
sweet passion elation of our souls ... !
Yes carry me before this-vision ... !
Restrain me-not ... .
Set our-soul-free ... !
Please ... ?
That we may gratify love-uphold it.
Yes yield-then ... only-beauty ... !

Author notes
Written to the (Braveheart) theme By: Enya
The expression of this poem was written from within the greater depths, of my soul. It was a cry of my muse.
The passion beside which I stand and the hope through which I write. The joy we both carry for the other,
and peace and faith in each other, in which we abide.
Before this writing my muse had taken a vacation. So willing, I am open to suggestion.
~ Thank you for reading this piece of my work ... God bless you ... (The reason that there are Hyphens "so
many of them") is because I have a computer that speaks them with a faster and slower and higher and
lower pitch of voice, giving a certain kind of ebb-and-flow to the work with a softer more fervent and realistic
and consistent tone, when I use the hyphens and other punctuation in the certain places that I do, when in
telling it what to do. Allowing it to speak in even a moderate voice if I choose. It sounds very free flowing
when I hear it, and I can only hope that you will be able to here it in the same way. Thank you for reading
and God bless you ... ~

**Lacey Mosely of Flyleaf**
You can't turn back the hands of time.
You can't give up because you feel so alone,
so abandoned, so useless, without a purpose in life.
He gave His life for you to live yours.
The troubled spirit haunting you silently lingers.
Lacey screams, her voice breaking free.
Forgive me, forgive me.
The truth echoing through,
forever in the light I will serve you.
Lacey sings, her voice eternally broken free.
I believe, I believe.
You found your path.
You know that you cannot change the past.
Broken within, you have found the courage to begin again.
Breathing as each day goes by,
you now know that you always had a purpose in this life.
You smile to yourself, and know that it is real.
Awakened you find the strength to heal.
Lacey screams, her voice breaking free.
Forgive me, forgive me.
The truth echoing through,
forever in the light I will serve you.
Lacey sings, her voice eternally broken free.
I believe, I believe.
Tonight she knows that she is free.
Lacey found the light.
Inside she screams.
Forgive me.
I believe, I believe.
Lacey screams, her voice breaking free.
Forgive me, forgive me.
The truth echoing through,
forever in the light I will serve you.
Lacey sings, her voice eternally broken free.
I believe, I believe.
Lacey sings,
her voice eternally broken free.
Jesus Christ, saved me.
I believe, I believe.

Go to sleep
Go to sleep
My little ones
Or Santa
Just won't come
For he knows when you are awake
For He knows when you are asleep
Close your weary eyes now
And I'll go take a little peek
Tap Tap Tap
Upon the roof
It's santa coming
For I hear reindeer's hoofs
Hush Hush now
Don't say a word
Better hurry
And fall fast to sleep
Or he just may leave you a big turd
Let sugar plums
Dance in those pertty little heads
As I made sure
Santa was nice and fead
Cookies and milk
With nothing else
Oh thank you my dear Lord
For this nice little cord
For they are fast to sleep
Now I can go back to bed
And count my own lost sheep

It’s hard to break away from this life
But it’s harder to stay this way forever’
It’s not good to be a lover
But to be a quitter is worse.
Go on. Move on.
Strive to make your life better.
Break away. Stay away.
When you go you shall carry away
A beautiful memory.
It’s good to taste life’s promises
But I don’t want my dreams to turm to ashes
Sometimes I’m annoyed at this life
Gotta take this pain out of my head
Cause I’ll never be a loser
I’ll never be a quitter
So I gotta move on.
I gotta go on to make life much better.
Break away. Stay away
When I go I shall have
A beautiful memory . . . with me.

A ship of souls lost
concealing an ocean.
in space between thoughts
the speed of slow motion.
please hear the sound
of the visibly shaken.
a thief wears the crown
the builder is breaking.
just a handful of souls
of windows and walls.
in the shimmering hour
of old father's pause.
while guardians of being
are too busy sleeping.
a listening tree seems
the last willow weeping.
we are the terrorist
and the laughing child.
it's our mirrored bliss
but, your crafty smile.
as my skeleton moans
he must sell his skin.
and paint all his bones
with some charlatan.
mind over matter?
well i think not!
if there's something the matter
with the one I've got.
but, i choose to believe
my spirit transcends.
it's too hard to conceive
this is where it ends.

When I'm sad and all alone
When I'm weak and my strength is gone
When I'm right yet others say I'm wrong
Help me to lean upon your Word, trust in You
That my mind not be disturbed
Guide me, Lord, guide me Lord, lead me on.
When my eyes are filled with tears
And my heart has been pierced
With the disappointments of this life
Lord don't let me go astray
Give me the power to face each day
Lord, keep me day by day
Lead me on.
When I do the best that I can
And no one seems to understand
Lord just take me by my hand
And lead me on
Lead me where the waters are still
Lead me where my thirst can be filled
Lead me on the righteous path
Lead me on.
Lead me on;
Lead me on'
Lead me on, Lord
And I'll follow You.
Lead me on;
Lead me on;
Lead me on to Victory.

I have a hole in my heart and I'm not sure where it starts. Everything used to make so much sense to me, now I'm not sure who I'm going to be. It could just be part of growing up, because this feeling has came before, let's fill up another cup. let's drink to the way life used to be, and how life is now to you and me. when we get older, let's hope we still stand shoulder next to shoulder. I know life with you is the only thing that helps me make it through. the ups and downs of this life have us riding on a never ending roller coaster, with every up always leads a huge fall down. I have faith in us that we can make it through it all, because once every down fall has fell leads another rise up that can bring us another time that we don't have to dwell. So I'll stay with you for as long as forever, and hope that we will never say never.

Dear Judy Konos,
OUR PROMISE
Don't think We're down--You're country, tis of thee
For which our Flags been woven and unfurled,
this very thread, it binds us constantly,
becoming still the envy of the world.
In fifty states we grew to all we are,
and though some think God's guidance is not there,
this truth comes shining through in every Star;
Our Liberty of life shows ever'rywhere.
To tell the world, Come you, and learn our way,
there is no secret to how we have grown,
and in God's light, God's light is where we stay,
to guide you to what we have only known.
between each line, God's word is meant to share,
and "We the People..." is what keeps it there.
by veebdosa 04/16/2011 (Dedicated to my friend Judy Konos in New Orleans)

How do the stars shine so bright
while you and I are lost in the night,
And how does this world keep on turning
when all that's left is our innocence burning?
I wish I could go away and lose myself in dreams.
If I try, can I fly with broken wings?
Lord, please show me what to do.
Mm.. I wish I knew
Wish I could wake up in a new place -
look in the mirror, find a different face...
Yeah I wish I could go away and lose myself in dreams.
If I try, can I fly with broken wings?
There's a happy ending to my tale.
I've got hope and so I cannot fail
And I'm gonna rise into the sky
Yeah I'm gonna mend my wings and fly so....
Lord, please show me what to do
Yeah, I wish I knew.
Wish I could wake up in a new place,
look into the mirror, find a different face
Yeah, I wish I could go away and lose myself in dreams;
I'll try, yes I'll fly with broken wings.
There's a happy ending to this tale.
I've got hope and so I cannot fail
Watch me, see me, see me rise into the sky.
Watch me, see me, oh, with broken wings I fly.
With these broken wings I fly.

I can finally believe that the sun shines beyond those clouds
To signal the end of the shade
Uncovering the world’s insecurity’s
If we can find solace in somebody we’ve never touched
Their words enough to give us hope
In a hopeless race
The means to turn the page
And start the next chapter of the book
To move on holding hands
Marching as one into the sunset
Into the title waves
Into the hurricane
Making the best of every moment
Dancing in the wind and rain
To move on hand in hand

Sent down from Heaven, their jobs are sure tough
But they don’t fly away when the going gets rough
They rise to the challenge to bring back wonder and hope
Failure does not happen in their line of work
Cuz’ Angels, no Angels, they don’t sing the blues
Angels sing strong from the high mountain tops
Sometimes it’s a rock song to wake spirits up
Sometimes it’s a ballad when babies must sleep
Or a love song in country that just makes you weep
But Angels, no Angels, don’t sing the blues
They work behind the scenes to enlighten world faith
Always there when you need’em, our Heavenly base
They make house calls to heal another broken heart
Gatekeepers to the soul, they lighten the dark
The sky is the limit as only Angels can know
When times are a troubling, their first on the scene
Not afraid to help out or even dirty their wings
The tune that they dance to, comes from Heaven above
Giving rhythm and gospel to everyone they love
Cuz’ Angels, no Angels, they don’t sing the blues
And you know Angels can’t read music,
but they sure wing it well
As they learn from the Almighty,
Who swings with, the heartbeat of humanity,
From Heavens high hill
Angels sing strong from the high mountain tops
Sometimes it’s a rock song to wake spirits up
Sometimes it’s a ballad when babies must sleep
Or a love song in country that just makes you weep
But Angels, no Angels, don’t sing the blues
They just don’t sing the blues
No, Angels don’t sing the blues
Angels don’t sing the blues

Sing me a song of love:
A song of passion,
A song of emotion-
One that's true and genuine filled with everlasting devotion.
Sing me a song of love:
One that is sincere,
One with compassion,
One of truth-
One that springs from the well of hope, eternal.
Sing me a song of love:
One of deep admiration,
A song of purity, of commitment, of family-
That bonds and can not be broken by the chimes of time
A song of love in rhythm and rhyme.
Sing me a song of love:
One so strong that it rights the wrongs and
Lessens the hurts of past disappointments and makes life worth living-
Never to be taken for granted or given up on.
Sing me a song of everlasting joy, peace and love-
One that as a child of All Mighty God, I am so deserving of.

We are young and try to be, Independent and free.
Got the world beneath our feet, they took our innocence to keep.
These the men of old, who swapped their hearts for shining gold.
Now they try to steal our souls to wrap around their brittle bones.
Locked in chambers made of stone, their children they beg to play alone.
Wrapped up tight in broken ropes, they pray for guns instead of hope.
But we found love, we will thrive, despite the lies that you deny.
And we will end what you begun. Turn our backs onto the sun.
We run through the night fighting for our sacrificial right.
And we howl to the moon, like it is what we were born to do.
And when we hear the gypsy's chant, we stand up tall and dance.
When the sun begins to rise, we bow our heads and close our eyes.
Because we are young and try to be, independent and free.

Thank you for loving me,
For being my sight when I couldn't see
For letting me always be me
And helping me be all that I can be
Thank you for loving me,
For looking at the beauty within me
And
Not the vanity
For being my strength when I fall down
And
Picking me up off the ground
Never letting me drown
Giving me the push for me to go on
Thank you for loving me,
being the best friend everyone needs
For showing me theres more to who you are
And
that I'm a bright shooting Star
You are my rock in the mountain of life
What puts my turbulent storm to sea
Theres no place I'd rather be
Thank you for loving me,
ENDLESSLY............

I sunbathed on the surface of mercury.
I windsailed on the sand dunes of mars.
I gazed upon venus and from my memory.
It was the most lovely by far, but that
was until the day I saw you,
from across the universe. I couldn't help
notice how beautiful was your blue,
and that's all it was worth.
and I like to fly far away from here.
across the galaxy to be within your
atmosphere. Whoa, time is just an ocean
that i'll brave to sail.
For a chance to say hello to you.
I bid farewell.
Raindrops are falling on my head
as I rest on a lonely world that lies
between us. But don't think for a second
that I've been mislead. If you look out you'll
see me riding on the back of pegasus, and a
million years i'll still be on my way. So don't
dare try to say it's all a lie, because if you're
willing wait then baby marked this day until
the day you see me streaking through your sky.
and I like to fly far away from here.
across the galaxy to be within your
atmosphere. Whoa, time is just an ocean
that i'll brave to sail.
For a chance to say hello to you.
I bid farewell

Live your life like fun , don't cry for wrong and right...
When it comes to taste , you can't go for a balanced diet...
Times moves on and on , like rising and falling tides ...
Life is meant to face , so you can't restore to hides...
Flow spontaneously like a river , high spirited like the sky...
Be vibrant like the bird , and open your wings to fly....
Value each smile like pearl , though it may be pocket size...
Just believe you are the best , there your worth lies....
Toil to your heart's best , leave the rest to divine ...
When blessings combine with efforts , zero can be turned to NINE.....

She never thought she would see the day
That someone would love her the same way
Every tear that she cried
All her life she would run and hide
Her heart turned to stone
Hating the feeling of being alone
Then he came along
Holding her in his arms, telling her this is where she belongs
Giving her nothing but happiness and love
He was an angel sent from above
Instead of cutting open her veins
She finds that in his arms is where she remains
She has choosen to live her life
Instead of choosing to die

A BELL FOR MY FLOWERS
My FLOWERS are keen
And watch what I do
My FLOWERS count time
And lies when they’re true
My FLOWERS fill a bowl
At the edge of my mind
There in the moonlight
My FLOWERS are enshrined
Fresh then are my FLOWERS fine
Love of floral, love of mine
Left alone, left to shine
All that’s bright and twice divine
My FLOWERS need a bell
That rings on Sunday morn
A bell of splendid color
For FLOWERS when they’re born
My FLOWERS lean north
To drink from porcelain dish
My FLOWERS lean south
As willpower turns to wish
Fresh then are my FLOWERS fine
Love of floral, love of mine
Left alone, left to shine
All that’s bright and twice divine
My FLOWERS follow kings
With gemstone and stained glass
My FLOWERS stand at guard
No ancient age shall pass
My FLOWERS catch rainbows
And blue peas in a spoon
My FLOWERS press aloft
Under starry winter moon
Fresh then are my FLOWERS fine
Love of floral, love of mine
Left alone, left to shine
All that’s bright and twice divine
RAMA INK.

We just got the news today
she will soon be going away
the doctors done all that they can do
but it's not over for her
she's just going home
she's faught her fight
Her battles now are through
another saints gone home Hallelujah
another child of God reaches Her heavenly home
another saints gone home Hallelujah
Praise the Lord
for now at last her victory is won
When the time has come for me to go away
I want my friends and family to see
that its not time to mourn
but to celebrate
this life I've lived
I pray they all may sing
another saints gone on hallelujah
another child of God reaches the Heavenly gates
another saints gone home hallelujah
Praise the Lord
Some day we'll see her in the heavely home.
By Treasa Jarvis
Dedicated to the memory of my grandmother Beulah Campbell who was a great
inspiration to me..

I sing praise to Thee, oh Lord.
You, who has brought me out of my misery,
You, who has been my comforter;
I sing praise to Thee, oh Lord.
You have heard my prayers,
You have answered according to Your will;
For this, I sing praise to Thee, oh Lord.
You have softened my hardened heart,
You have soothed my weary soul,
I sing praise to Thee, oh Lord.
You have provided for my needs when low,
You have blessed me with talents and gifts,
For this, I sing praise to Thee, oh Lord.
You have healed me when pain and sickness was there,
You calmed my anxious mind,
I sing praise to thee, oh Lord.
You opened my eyes that I may see Your glory,
You opened my heart to experience Your love.
For this, I sing praise to Thee, oh Lord.
I will sing of Your praise forever and ever.
Amen

High school days are gone
And all the work are done
As we are about to take a leap
Our memories together I will keep
There will be tears to cry
As we move on and bid goodbye
I know it will be hard to fly
Without you on my way up high
Thanks for the lift
That is a great gift
The jokes and your smile
Made me forget the pain for a while
Now is the time to take the crown
Don't face the world with a frown
Let them see your smiling face
And dancewith them with grace
When all of today's work are done
It doesn't mean our freindship is gone
I hope someday you'll be fine
You'll realize that . . .
Graduation is not Goodbye

Before flowers and hugs made you happy,
and every evening you waited for my arrival,
and lovingly asked me, " How was your day, darling? "
Your old age age doesn't have those thrills anymore as when life was yours;
today, vanished is that radiant face: now, it only shows ugly spots and wrinkles...
a curse of the flesh, and no tenderness can console you for that tragic loss!
Why be less beautiful and desirable?
no woman ever loses her unique beauty, it is alive in her admirer's memory;
it's in the tender words she speaks to her captured man, who changed her destiny!
Sweetheart, accept my yellow roses with the same joy you demonstrated yesterday;
never doubt my faithfulness, and whisper to yourself, " He loves me not! "
Try to smile...and instantly you will look much younger than you ever felt!
Why be less beautiful and desirable?
We sealed our fate with the oath of fidelity, giving life to a promise never to be broken;
our sky was of the deepest blue and no other dream ever compared to that one!
Cpyright 2009 by Andrew Crisci

A sea of Blue Mountains
As far as the eyes can see
Sing about your blue tapestry
Sweet Blue Mountains
Your purple majesty
Deep in your eyes
The cool rivers flow
Hills and pine trees
All covered with snow
Eagles fly high
Above every hilltop
Blue Mountains roll
Down to the blue shore
Blue eyes watch over me
Sweet voice sings back to thee
Sing in every chapel
Sing a Tennessee wedding song
If Blue Mountains could sing, then
All the church bells would ring,
And sing, Blue Mountains is where
You belong

Oh, Marianna Grazia...
was my friendly neighbor,
a lovely lady in her eighties!
She became a widow when her
husband died of a brain tumor,
he was a sailor of many oceans;
how evident was the sadness
of Marianna Grazia!
She had a Grand Piano, made of cherry oak,
not covered with a speck of dust, and smiling
she played an improvisation with style;
and it depended on her mood! The rays of sunlight
entered diagonally and rested on it, while
her feeble fingers played the same, harmonic melody;
and her hubby liked to hear those notes enthusiastically...
that's how I remember Marianna Grazia at her best!
Oh, Marianna Grazia...
went to church every Sunday,
and passing by my gate, she always said
hello, and asked how things were going!
She gave every kid on the block candy
and flowers she grew in the back-yard;
oh, I miss how you hummed that song...
oh, Marianna Grazia!
Today I walked by her house,
the Venetian blinds were closed at noon,
I was overtaken by a sudden gloom;
her youngest daughter approached me
and mutterred very grieving words,
" My mom has passed away in a tragic way,
she slipped and fell, and hit the cement;
she passed out as blood gushed from her forehead."
Oh, Marianna Grazia...
never will I have another conversation
about her experience in Normandy,
and the stories of a nurse during World War II,
were as inspirational as her vocation!
Oh, Marianna Grazia...
look down below and wave gracefully;
life is not as everlasting as that love given by you,
oh, Marianna Grazia!

Shall I succed in my undertakings
If I don’t listen to all their warnings?
Shall I paint the sky with another hue
Just to give beauty it’s real value
Should I be ashamed of my past action
If everything they knew were just suspicion
Shall I pull the stars to make light
Or cry out for help tonight
My mind is filled with doubts and confusion
But my heart if full of mere determination
But I know I’m not the type whop plays the game
Then make up excuses to save myself from blame
Why should I follow the sun’s rays
Just because I did not succed in my own ways
I won’t waste a second p[painting the sky
Knowing that I only got one second to fly
Why should I be ashamed of my mistakes
When all they do is for their own sake
I won’t cry out loud tonight
Cause I know that all along I can see the light

A for Allah
A for All
A for Alright
It’s all right!

Back in the summer of 69
I remember sitting on the dock of the bay
watching the boys of summer
build their love shacks love shacks
girls were playing twister and
sipping on pina coladas all day
feeling kind of groovy groovy
I couldn't get much higher higher
with these such good vibrations
from the summer in the city
way down in Key Largo
watching my beach baby beach baby
from the dock of the bay
Just Something I was working on
for a song Used all summer songs LOL
Hate to see the summer fun end
This Song Is Written By Me
And Now Is It Is Published Thru N.W. Alabamba

Thank God for 7-27, when my son flew in
Life as it should be will forever begin
Charming little visions of how days are meant
To teach him as he shows me how life is spent
Listen to me now and read what I find so true
Words are like a beat that can start a groove
Bring the rhythm back to lift your spirits up
Don't worry too much because we all get stuck
My life seems to stop before it begins
Caught in another ever-recurring trend
Giving away every one of my previous wins
With Faith and company until my life ends
It's time now to be down again
Even faster than western winds
Life can run around, leave you in loop
Feeling that life needs one more scoop
Tip the timer over, fall with the sand
Live for every second you possibly can
I will soon learn should luck turns up
I'm lost, backwards, and running amuck
Trying to regain what I thought I missed
Elusive, erratic and ending up like this
Never have I wanted to be other than here
Life in crystal-clear brings visions near
Capable are your dreams so easily achieved
All you have to do is work & truly believe
Look for a big picture in whatever you see
Never believe free, it offers no guarantee
Just sit back and listen to tales they tell
And make your own path but remember it well
Don't try to be so deep, just work to relax
Make life a story but include all the facts
Learn about yourself when you're at the mic
Work the crowd just to see what you're like
Life will soon be everything you need it to be
Proceed with sight don't let only destiny lead
You always have control in every step you take
Follow dreams today and always live fast awake
At times I don't know where this path would go
Like I'm hosting a show I've never seen before
Filling in the gaps, taking punches for others
Learning along the way what life really offers
It’s time now to be down again
Steps closer to an unknown end
Digging up dirt nearly burying yourself
At least the digging is good for health
Live your life now, stay until the very last
Live your life today as if it's already past

A low man is due...
My eyes seek reality,
My fingers feel for faith.
Touch clean with a dirty hand,
I touch the clean to the waste.
I fall cause I let go,
The net below has rot away.
And I cry to the alleyway,
Confess all to the rain.
But I lie straight to the mirror,
The one I've broken to match my face.
The fire is so warm,
But nowhere safe from the storm.
And I can't bear to see,
What I've let me be.
So wicked and worn.
So as I write to you,
Of what is done and to do.
Maybe you'll understand,
I won't cry for this man.
Cause low man is due.
So low the sky is all I see,
All I want from you is forgive me.
My eyes seek reality,
And my fingers seek my veins.
There's a dog at your back step,
He must come in from the rain.
But you bring that poor dog in from the rain,
Though he just wants right back out again.
So my fingers feel for faith,
And my eyes seek reality.
So as I write to you,
Of what is done and to do.
Maybe you'll understand,
I won't cry for this man.
Cause low man is due.

Used to be Controlled by a Tyrant of lies
Then one day
The swift unseen knights
Came and stormed all who
Deteste the Aquarian Wish
Be Free and live long
we are the Children of Concordia
Nothing shall be in our way
Comely as what a Siren signs
Bravery of what a Lion brings
The Grey Haven lies beyond the mist
The Children of Concordia
They have no word for trist
Will you let me join your world?
Will you open up the doors?
A people of concord and more than they seem
They live in the shadows of an Aquarian Dream
A place of Liberty and Harmony
Ruled by magic and Lore
Deep in the Golden forest of Clarity
Filled with enchanting tales
Of Immortality and evil’s causalities
You can find Eden’s people she said
what humans were meant to be
Comely as what a Siren signs
Bravery of what a Lion brings
The Grey Haven lies beyond the mist
The Children of Concordia
They have no word for TristWill you let me join your world?
Will you open up the doors?
the safety of your real that could never fall
Comely as what a Siren signs
Bravery of what a Lion brings
The Grey Haven lies beyond the mist
The Children of Concordia
They have no word for trist
Will you let me join your world?
Will you open up the doors?

Lay your head down precious one
And dry your eyes right now
For dreams of happy endings
Will be coming anyhow
The rains will stop, that much we know
Though we may not know how
So walk ahead to dryer ground
Where my love will abound
Know that when you're all alone
I've never been more near
And when you think I'm gone from you
I'm holding you, my dear
The nights will pass before you know
The sun will rise once more
I'll be with you in the sunshine
And with you in the storm
In the sunshine, in the rain
Just look up to the sky
And wish you may and wish you might
And to you, I will fly
I'll never leave you, never go
Where you can't find me there
Just look inside your heart to find
The love we share

There is Something in the Air
Can You tell???
This can Happen Anytime
For this... is Real
Jesus Christ is Coming Back
For You and Me
For this day... Will Happen
Miraculously
Have You ever really wondered
Where You'll be?
When Life here ends
About Eternity??
There is Just One Hope
In My Heart...
That You come to Jesus
Receive... a Fresh Start
With this Moment... In Time
Believe in Jesus... ye Shall Find
Jesus Is Only True Way... Is to be
Born-again... Set Free
Just Trust... and Believe
Receive...What... God wants to give
Only Through Jesus Christ
We All... Can Live
Paradise!!!
Now.. is the Time
Come... Be Saved
Inspired by God.. Blessed me with this song..
Love Always in Christ.. *Star Light

That Snake was looking for Your Skin…
Now, You Need Something to Walk Around-in
He was looking for Your Skin…
That’s what you get for listening…
Now, to this very Day
We got Belts… We got Boots
Made out of Snake-Skin Leather
When we See One… We Just Shoot !
It may be Our Subconscious
Or maybe… We’re just Tired
We were Tricked – Only to Discover…
… We can’t Cover Our Hides
… Amen !...
From Daniel Boone to Tony Lama, Whether Old or New
Clothes can’t Do..
what we’ve Tried to Do…
… Cover Our Faults, Fears and Fury Too
(But, we can’t be shamed, we’re naked… just try to make it)
… Back In !..
‘Cause We’re Tired of Wearing Skins
Please Lord !... Let us Back in the Garden
Give Us somethin’ more Glorious to Walk-in…
‘Cause we’re Tired of Wearing Skins…
Telling all The Women and The Men
Wrap Around in Light and Shout… Hallelujah Amen !
Let Love Cover You and Then Begin…
To Get Rid of Fake Skin…
… Well, a man told me a Story
That was Weird to Believe
I thought he was Lying…
… ‘til I looked thru some Leaves ! …

Clouds of an Occult day
Words of a Darkmaster
Chill My Mind
Freeze my Eyes
Hidden Forever I'll be; Shadow walk
You will Never see me
It's time to anew
I'll Lose you
I cannot forget The Blood
I cannot-- Forgive you
Locked in my cell
I'm never far
I'll Never Bleed For you Again
Loosing Vitality
Mistakes cannot be Fixed
Forever you and I will Drown
Sacred Words Of you
Do not Render Complete
Obsolete
Cords of Vile you
wrap around the flowers
how east it must be
I wasn't Born this Way
you Made me this Way
Locked in my cell
I'm never far
I'll Never Bleed For you Again
Loosing Vitality
Mistakes cannot be Fixed
Forever you and I will Drown
Sacred Words Of you
Do not Render Complete
Obsolete
Sacred Words Of you
Do not Render Complete
Obsolete
Sacred Words Of you
Do not Render Complete

Cold morning greets the weary eye clouds drape the horizon in gray
I turn around avoiding the sight I cannot stand with a dreary pale day
And then I feel it on the nape of my neck A hint of warmth kissing my skin
I turn around gazing out my window and see in the gray light the size of a pin
I try not to build on my hopes the thin ray of light might be gone in a tick
And then it happened the clouds parted way amazing ling quick
within a moment I was a washed in light blinding brilliant and glaring so bright
it was like the day had defeated the night leaving the world with breathtaking sight
The orb of energy colored the sky in outrages shadows and countless hues
the godly object painting its art from star to star the cosmos its muse
I moved with a pace to open the door I flung it open with a giddy delight
the clouds burned away by the waking of ra the life giving force of comfort and might
the rays that touched the flesh of my face washed in warmth a faint tingle
Colors above began to dissipate lose there sharpness leave then un mingle
now the sky retains the majestic color of the all welcoming blue
now nothing can stop the suns life and energy from making it through
the moments I spent outside my front door revitalized my heart filled my soul
I dare not stare into the great star the center so bright a positive hole
I stood there soaking up the nectar my skin absorbing the vital beams
Before this day I thought the world could only be this beautiful in our dreams
Iam not sure to this day how long I enjoyed it how long did I stay
I took the time to indulge in the feeling the blinding array
The golden orb that gives life a chance nourishes its children down below
refreshes my outlook changes the day shinning down for the rest to grow
to bathe in its glory heat on my skin sensations burn from my feet to my chin
summer is coming in its time the way it has always done the way its been
Shading my eyes from the fiery glare I take a last glance at the burning sphere
so filled up inside with light and warmth my lets out a rejoice full tear
Once again it will set in the sky but it doesn’t take long for it to appear
to give the life that we all so crave and to make our days a little more clear
a god to revere a star we hold dear every summer once every year it comes again
to greet us here banish the dark conquer our fear once again I will gaze and ill peer on the
celestial being
that owns the sky the liquid fire mother our sphere

An obstruction can be overcome by building a bridge
Whether the obstacle is of land or of sea
But the bridge most essential to all of mankind
Is the one that leads to God, no other way to Him we'll find
With three nails and a cross, Jesus built us a bridge
To carry us across sin's deep abyss
There is no other way, for without Him we are lost
Jesus saves with a bridge made of three nails and a cross
God the Father was willing to send His only Son
God the Son obeyed and left His home on high
Born of a virgin by God's Spirit, clothed in humanity
Born to die, to rise again, He bridged the gap for you and me
We are such loathsome sinners, while God is so pure
It's impossible to match His perfect ways
No earthly bridge can reach over a chasm so wide
Only one such bridge exists, the one that Jesus provides
With three nails and a cross, Jesus built us a bridge
It's the only way to span sin's great divide
He offered up His life, there is no greater cost
Thank the Lord, He built a bridge with three nails and a cross
There has been many bridges built by the hands of men
Much skillfulness and toil they did employ
But none can be compared to, or was made with such love
As the bridge our Lord supplies for us, that leads to God above
Jesus offers free passage for you to cross that bridge
It's the only way, the Bible tells us so
No toll is required, it was paid for with His blood
Accept His gracious gift and He will guide you by His love
With three nails and a cross, Jesus built us a bridge
It's the only way to span sin's great divide
He offered up His life, there is no greater cost
I'm so thankful He built a bridge with three nails and a cross

Sometimes everything is a lie
The way he touched you
Kissed you and ran his fingers in your hair
Sometimes your heart breaks
It's all in despair
He walks away
You bite your lip to hold it back
Tears form in your eyes
Cloud your vision and you wonder why
Standing alone on the street in the rain
Wondering why they're all the same
They tell you what you want to hear
Get what they want and take it all back
You gave it your heart
From the very start
Just to see it spit back
Cry, and cry
You loose yourself in sadness
Try to find a reason why
Get hung up in the past
But not so fast
If you let yourself cry for too long
Your eyes will cloud
You won't see anything around
Your other half could be standing there
Arms open wide
But you will never find out
If you never try

Chorus:
Can you hear me?/ Can you hear my voice calling for you?/ saying that everything
is gonna be okay/ don't be afraid/ to close your eyes and take my hand/ let me take you to
a magical land/Just give your heart and soul/ and let us both go/ to magical land/
Verse1: I know times can be hard/ times can be sad/ but don't take it to heart/ or get angry
and mad/ I know that you're in pain/ you feel like you're going insane/ but don't worry there's
something to gain/ you can join me on an adventure ride/ just take my hand and prepare to
fly/ just tell me if you-u-u/
chorus: 2x
Verse2: I know that the world can be cruel/ the world can use you and spit you out/ make
you feel like there's no way out/ you wanna cry/ you wanna curl up and just hide/you feel
like your mind and body's not right/ you wanna put up your hands and fight/ or just let it all
go/ can you hear my call?/
Chorus:3x ( Whatever the reasons/ i'm here to help pick up the pieces/ just put your trust
in me/ and baby you would see/ the beauty in magical land/)

Wind blows
Trees sway
Waiting for the rain this day
To leave its glorious stain
Always to grow and not from pain
Wind blows
Trees sway
Waiting for the break of day
Thunder rolls
Through the knolls
Penetrating so deep in our souls
Wind blows
Trees sway
Falling till the break of day
Waiting, waiting, wanting to stay
Not knowing what to say
May I know, yes I may
Wind blows
Trees sway
In our souls, the plan is this way
Praying God will always stay
Running toward the rivers so wide
Sending down my spine the wonders sublime

You took me home, I drink to much because of you my livers turn to dust
You got me high my lungs have quit for the last time.
And because of you my obsession grows more and more with each passing day.
I do it more to feel the high but it just won’t come back to me.
I tried to walk but it’s so hard I just end up on my back staring into the sky.
You came to me to help me back onto to my feet.
And helped walk me back to the car even with my resistance you took me home.
I’m sick of the things you have said and done while leaving me high and dry.
I’m so messed up from what you've said and I’m on the brink of dieing out, of
this place you call my home.
I’ve tried to make since of all the things you have said to me, But it is impossible
to stay on track. Some people shouldn’t be alive. That’s how I feel.
Like I’m not needed in this life, even though it might hold something I should
uncover,
I’ve never searched these things in mind that should be found, but yet apparently
unattainable to keep track, it’s almost impossible to grab a hold of the thing that
are most vital to your life.
When you are in a life where all you do is getting smashed and seared. And you
try and try to help me up, but you took one move… You took the one wrong move...
You took me home. Because of you my life now sucks!
And it’s now whirling out of my control
I feel I’m fading from this place that you have brought me to
So take my away from here I need not to see your face in front of mine
So get away... away from me!
Why is it when you call my name, I’m put in a state of misery
I’m am so perplexed, can’t see straight
I’ve tried to go and find my-self it's just so frustrating
I can’t take the fact that you entered my life at an age that I do not know
And I try to ask my-self what can I do to help me out of this awful state
Of misery.
Than you made an effort to help me up, but then I see a whole new being and it’s
not you but somewhat else… I see… I see My-self!?!
I think I helped my soul from this death I think that I have come to my sixth
senses and have turned my life around.
But you still make that one last go to start this all another time
You took me home with this agony
And I ask you one last time why did you make my life this living hell!?!

How do you think it all started
On the fallen earth you bemoan
They teach you the truth
But you learn to lie on your own
Where did morality go (look what you've done)
Giving and taking
Reaping more than what you've sown
Trumpet sounds
Don't look down on yourself
It's not just you (don't you see)
It all started in the garden
Catalyst of prevailing misery
Trace the steps of the pale horse
The time is near (you do the math)
Hearing nothing but a still silence
Confronting face to face is starts to laugh
Don't you see (it is the end of the world)
Turn back
But it's too late for me
Sin has trodden
Making me a slave
Death has come
Written on my grave
Still afraid (growing bold)
But you see it's not over
Seven seals to unfold
So reach out for anyone's hand
'Cause it had better be the arm of one who can withstand!

I remember after three weeks of fasting
and praying with heart and soul,
pleading to The Lord that He help me,
that He hasten to me and console.
Then one day in April,
as I stood by a mighty river:
I looked and suddenly there before me,
appeared a vision that caused me to shiver.
The vision was about to speak to me.
I grew pale and weak with fright;
then fell to the ground face downward
unable to bear the sight.
His eyes were like pools of fire,
with feet and arms of polished brass;
and like the sound of a mass of people
His voice roared strong and vast.
He placed his hands upon me.
I was lifted up from the ground;
and as my knees were trembling,
the voice began to resound:
"Oh dear Daniel, beloved of God,
listen to what I have to say: Do not fear!
For I have been sent here
to answer your prayer this day."
"Soon a mighty battle will come to pass
evil powers will fight against The Lord;
but God's faithful will hold firm until the end...
then the righteous shall receive their reward at last."
By Milton Lopez Delgado
Adaptation from The Book of
Daniel Chapter 10
The Living Bible
September 16, 1984

O God of love
and power,
Your power disclose,
That as Christ arose,
I too may arise
to shine.
O God of love
and power,
Show forth your power,
In us your Church,
That as Christ arose,
We too may arise
to shine.

The view I see so beautiful a new horizon a bright sky
everything’s falling into place.
Vibrations have started paving the way for a new life
Magnificent sights and wonders captured within my mind
Excitement within my heart beating faster
Air I breath I'm feeling good
Born with a gift within my labyrinth
Like the magic of a crystal
Images I see time talks to me
I close my eyes century’s pass me by
Looking in the sky my mind can fly messages I hear
By the water my power grows
By the touch of a hand a deep emotion I feel
I am the messenger from the light
My life force has the everlasting glow
The road that I travel lies deep within a realm of enlightened thought
In this land I am a mystic
Abilities within my heart and mind have no boundaries
My wisdom teaches the children of life
My thoughts can move the megaliths
With the wave of my hand a portal open up
Through this dimension angels guide my inner soul
Listen closely an echoing voice calls out
Now watch as my arms turn into wings
Hold tight prepare for an adventure through fantasy
Higher 'n higher into heaven sky
The many sounds that surround
A breeze that breaths
Look into my eyes watch me turn into a star shooting through the sky.
Tonight something beautiful is about to begin
In a world of wonder everything comes alive.
In the corner of a small bed room,
A sleeping child soon will hear magic.
A picture on the wall. a battered guitar by the window
This picture is filled with visions of harmony and dreams.
That guitar is magical it works for any child that makes wish.
Outside the window a shooting star with
the power and magic to create dreams into reality.
A gentle breeze rushes in; an angel like glow ignites the picture
A symphony of color engulfs the room.
The guitar begins to play. A gentle voice fills the air singing
Dream that dream watch 'n see
What you have always known and wished for soon will become reality
You are the one we’ll come to know and love
I know you’ve been abused it’s in your eyes
It’s alright to cry open up let the emotions soar
You are the star, climb the sky show the truth to the world
Show them what you can do, we have seen you do it and we know
You’ve been hidden from so many, a child so gifted and beautiful.
That little voice you keep hearing is you guiding you along
There are no boundaries for you and I in life.
Dream that dream keep creating
Watch and see what you have always known and wished for soon will be reality

… Well, a man told me a Story
That was hard to Believe
I thought he was Lying…
‘til I looked thru some Trees…
There went a thin Alligator
With a Boot on his Head !...
Walking to the River –
Like he’s so Unafraid…
Now, I turned back to the Guy
And asked, “What should I do?...
… but he was limping away
Without any Shoes…
He had a smile on his Face
That turned into Laughter…
He joked, and said…
“The old-boy came and got what he was after!....
… Amen !...
He was just looking for his Skin
He needed somethin’ to walk Around-in
Hold his head upright, and keep on Walking…
… He was just looking for his Skin…
… Now, if we could know the Creature-Language
They would shock us to the Core !
‘Cause they got their Own Legends
And wild-animal ‘Lore’…
They think that we are Lethal
And they just can’t Trust…
“Those Strange Two-Legged Walkers…
Come here looking for Us !...
“ There’s a Silk-Worm Somewhere
Working in a Sweat-Shop
So that little-bitty Woman
Gets a pretty, pink Top
Be it Leather or Pelts
Or Fur or Fleece
Say, Ram, I hate to tell you… but …
… ain’t that your Niece…
… in that Pen?”
“… ‘Cause they’re looking for Our Skin
They need somethin’ to walk Around-in
Better Round-Up all of Your Kin…
‘Cause they’re looking for Our Skin !”…
Well, if you don’t think this is True
Go Back to The Beginning
Where the First Man and Woman
Was caught Red-Handed (Stealing)
They got Leaves from the Trees
But wind Blew, Right-Thru
Man Turned to Woman: said,
“… don’t know what to do !...
So Half-naked and Crying
They had to Leave a Home
Yet, God… Ever Gracious…
Gave ‘em Skins… ‘fore they was Gone !...
… Amen !...
That Snake was looking for Your Skin…
Now, You Need Something to Walk Around-in
He was looking for Your Skin…
That’s what you get for listening…

As we sit at the edge of the bridge
Do you expect me to jump?
I found the power to turn beauty to a pig
and my methods are out of control.
I only pushed you away cause I love you.
I only hope to satisfy your smile.
In a world with endless possibility .
Is it possible to make this worthwhile?
Maybe I fight because I'm used to playing the victim.
Either way what kind of savage am I?
I'll put this switchblade through my neck.
If I knew it could keep you from crying.
I Love feeling sad does that make you sick?
I find love in being sad haven't you noticed.
I love feeling sad does that make you feel sick?
Now step away.
I only pushed you away cause I love you.
I only hope to satisfy your smile.
In a world with endless possibility.
Is it possible to make this worthwhile?
The dawning of the last day was a massacre.
Is there nothing I can do to make this right?
I eight balled the neglected.
and I wonder why she hates my eyes.
No blood loss nothing left to lose.

Funnest-hardest Poem Ever

We've been through
Roughening waves,
But we sat and never threw
Ourselves out of furious rave.
One day my heart
Will be glad that
We haven't yet fallen apart
And are not as sad as before.
Our time was like a boat...
No matter where we went,
Our time was well spent,
Even while we continuously float.
One day you'll be as happy
As you were in that rural place.
We'll together repair our broken vase.
You and I were inseparable friends...
So I wished it didn't end.
Our bond has been fragile
For quite some while.
I've been thinking of ridding it...
Though I know
I'll resolve it all somehow.
So I hope you will accept the flora
I shall give to you one day...

I've Always been attracted
to the melody of the dancing rhyme
along the black and white keys
there is a voice of international language
through the Steinway and Baldwin
through the casio and yamaha
the message comes out of my fingers
from the old and young
its a sound that touches ev'ryone
lets you laugh and cry
lets you discover how to fly.

take it easy take a step back
you never helped me follow through
don' bother asking why
secrets so often lead to lies
every time i try
doubt lingers in my mind
twisting and turning and causing me stress
I never sleep well while knowing
I'm guna regret this
try and erase this
mess
how could i forget that
lessons deserved learn best
trust, don't let it rust to much
these words grow weaker, with every touch
no sense in forging a false pretense
another way to say you're full of it
only in my mind
can i find a piece of mine
yearning deserving simply more
whats so wrong with thinking
I'm guna regret this
try and erase this
mess
how could i forget that
lessons deserved learn best
just turn around
you're lost not found
the secrets out
had enough
of you I've found
hearing your secrets sour my mind
so down your road
a block or so
i can't condone you
you're not like me
I'm blind
But i don't owe you
anything
all but vague
no longer there to your dismay
asking why almost a million ways
I'm hungry for advice
hearing yours don't make me wise
Your lies don't change your fate
i mean you no disgrace
postponing controlling things sure to come
all the while your asking
am i guna regret this
try and erase this
mess
will i ever forget that
lessons deserved learn best
you know best

You helped me through a very tough time,
Retro melodies and lyrics put a mellow on my bind,
Found out about you two years ago,
Such a unique singer could work any flow,
Took your own to create such an influential sound,
From something you were never able to fully rebound,
You never comprised, you were honest and cool,
That may not be what everyone says but it's true,
You spoke and sang from the heart,
You always did, even from the start,
Honesty, humility, humbleness and vulnerability,
Traits made it easy for you to live your life publicly,
You set the bar for what many musicians strive to achieve,
You pulled it off with such ease, the stars aligned, it was meant to be,
It takes guts and strength to be your own,
That's why you wear this generations Jazz thrown.

How you cope, friend...
being sad?
Hours don't pass that quickly:
you will be so bored!
Try very hard,
and win it all;
yes, they will admire you...
you will know for sure!
You must love more than yesterday,
you will know for sure!
How you deal with pain,
how you sleep alone?
How dreams slip from you?
They are inside you!
Be ready to love,
receive much more,
even though nobody gives;
you must love more than yesterday,
they are smiling now!
You must love more than yesterday,
they are smiling now!
Be strong and believe...
be glad, too!
No one is against you...
everything can be yours today!
Run, to reach love...
whenever you fall,
it will not leave you;
you're on safe shore!
You must love more than yesterday,
they all love you now!
You must love more than yesterday,
they all love you now!

" Rhymin' Simon ( and Garfunkel)
Sung to the tune of " Bridge Over Troubled Water

thoses times in life we learn to cry,or persue our intentions, learning to fall or when to fight, but we cant detremand, we wish to pray to see the day, of the end of the rain
You don't need my console, you can take this on
So i sit and open my pen, to the ones who need it, the times of broken hearts, we seem to fall apart, remember to take my hand, just know that i, cant save your soul tonight
You dont need my console, you can take this on, wake up and face today, just know your never alone
You dont need my console, you can take this on, wake up and face today, just know, your never alone
*These lyrics were written by my best friend be nice*

(Verse 1)
Got to take your time, Slow down
Open your eyes look around
Lifes to precious to throw away
Put a smile on your face
(Bridge)
Listen to the music that’s in your heart
All your searching
Answers you seek hidden away
Its all inside of you
(Hook)
Look inside.. Look inside
Look inside yourself
The answers inside of you
Look inside your heart
(Verse 2)
Ten steps forward twenty steps back
Some people spend a life time
Trying to find out who they are and what to do
It doesn’t come easy
(Bridge)
You try and try sooner or later you break down and cry
Searching all my young life
Trying so many things jumping from job to job
Searching for answers I already had
(Hook)
Look inside.. Look inside
Look inside yourself
The answers inside of you
Look inside your heart
(Verse 3)
Slow down take your time
Put a smile on your face
Lifes to precious to throw away
The answers inside of you
(Hook-Final Chorus)
Look inside.. Look inside
Look inside yourself
The answers inside of you
Look inside your heart

God and me
verse 1
when i see God I think of myself,
God and me walking together
side by side singing his love,
God and his choices are one with mine
i love Gods world because it is me and God,
walk with God,
cherish his love,
speaking his truth
walking in his holy light,
God and me always,
verse 2
God speaks to the birds and i hear them sing
my ears perk happily receiving his love in sound,
God like the birds alway flies in my mind
oh my God, you are my love you are my joy,
without you i would be lost in the world,
walk with God
cherish his love
walking in his holy light
God and me always
verse3
I saw the garden of eden,
God showed me his path
sweet like mist morning,
his breath touches my solar plexus,
God's love is in my heart
every foot step of God is my force of life moving through me
God's presence reains eternal
walk with God
cherish his love,
walk in his Holy light
God and me always.Penny lapsley,Holy spirit thank you God for helping me

Hey! I am so restless
I long for the Farthest!
Days go by one by one
I look through the window
To see if He has come –
I want His touch so very much!
O the Farthest, the huge Farthest
Your flute’s music makes me impressed
So I forget I have no wing
And this small earth is my address!
I am absent-minded!
O the huge Farthest
I am indifferent as if I am dead!
In the sunny idle day
Trees make sound and shadows play!
The sky seems like your blue eyes!
If you could come here to stay!
O the Farthest, the huge Farthest
Your flute’s music makes me impressed
So I forget my room is locked
It’s of no use to try my best!

I speak for many
But not for all
He was a military veteran
Awaiting a September fall
I put my song in your heart
My heart is your song
Until I crawl beaten
Back into your womb
Days they seem to stretch
For how long
Could I have been wrong
For how long
As I journey
Through my darkest days
Of sunshine
Nothing but cold winters
On my mind
Enlighten the darkest killer
I died of amnesia
I don’t want to pray anymore
A forgotten ritual
Seen too many have-nots
Plastered to heavens doors
Remember me
For I shall not return
Remember me
A beggar at arms
Mother’s last scar
Lost his soul
Seen it slither homeless
As I tempt passion
This cognac in a jar
Journey through
The darkest sunshine
Nothing but cold winters
On my mind
Seventy-two on clear sheets
Father where can your savior be
Are you comfortably numb
Or numb and can’t find comfort
Living off the hand of a locust
An honest man attempting
To stay focused when hurt
Turnover and sleep
The piano speaks to me
Violin creeping down my spine
Nothing but cold winters on my mind
As I journey through the darkest sunshine

When your dreams are suppressed
I am here don’t be depressed
When you feel like dropping a tear
Go ahead release your fear
There are too many ways to heal a broken heart
But there a re too little ways to make a new start
All you can do is to listen as nature sings the cradle song
Even if for a while you will realize that you are strong
When the wind is pushing you
I am here to help you pull through
When your eyes cannot see
I help you get to where you want to be
There are too many ways to heal a broken heart
But there a re too little ways to make a new start
Al you can do is to listen as nature sings the cradle song
Even if for a while you will realize that you are strong
Your journey is not that easy my friend
I know it’s time for this nightmare to end
Close your eyes and feel my cradle song
I’m sure I’ll be with you before long
There are too many ways to heal a broken heart
But there a re too little ways to make a new start
Al you can do is to listen as nature sings the cradle song
Even if for a while you will realize that you are strong
Sleep tight
Let me kiss you one last goodnight
One last goodbye
Through this lullaby

I have been alone in the stony dark
Worldly deluded and in cycle wondering
I have been walking in the thorny path
Weakly and in unprofitable wandering
But today the lord is my light and my salvation
In Him I have found a comfy home
In his right hand side, I am stationed
So I will glorify him with my body and soul
(So sisters let’s praise him
Brothers let’s worship him
Everybody let’s glorify him
For he is the supreme)
My spirit was like water draining away
I was dirty deep inside my bone marrow
My heart was like wax melting away
I couldn’t even recognize my soul as my own
But since I found solace in the lord
He had cleanse me and set me free
And my whole being is of newly born
So I will sing worship and praises unto him
(So sisters let’s praise him
Brothers let’s worship him
Everybody let’s glorify him
For he is the supreme)
I never knew I will see hope in tomorrow
Nor will I ever be without pain
I never knew I will be without sorrow
Nor will I ever see the end of the hateful lane
Until I got hold by the lord’s mighty hand
and He straightened me so I can do all things
He got me placed in his plentiful promise land
And now I can climb the highest mountain
(So sisters let’s praise him
Brothers let’s worship him
Everybody let’s glorify him
For he is the supreme

My summer love

Would I look insane
If I took pictures in the rain?
My face would be…sponging wet
My camera would be slippery I bet
Would I be in danger
If I took photos of a passerby and a stranger?
My reputation would probably be out of shape
My own skin would turn a odd shade…just like the clouds—covered by a foggy cape
It would be a whole new adventure
If I drive that damp road of cement…what would occur?
My uncertainty leads to a mysterious freeway…we are all along for the ride
We’ll still be together like some married couple—well, I’ll always stay by their side
Would we be in danger
If I took photos of this horrifying recollection?
Will it drive my dad to anger?
My safety is hanging on its last seat belt; I’ll never forget this risky exploration
Would I be the one to blame
If I took pictures of the rain’s appalling flame?
My face is showered with bogging rain and blurred fog
My curiosity increases the rainstorm and I flash the driver to create a direction’s clog

Today I saw her face, in the bathhroom mirror
She had the sadest face, with a lonely tear
I reached to touch her, but she faded away
Her image gone, just like yesterday
I moved to my dresser, not thinking clear
When her face appeared, in the dresser mirror
A tear rolled off my cheek, as I searched for something to say
As again she was gone, just like yesterday
I thought I was dreaming, so I just got dressed
Then I went to the kitchen, for my morning breakfast
Poured some cereal, for I had to leave by ten
When there in the milk, I saw her face again
I tried to speak, with a lump in my throat
But nothing came out, so I just grabbed my coat
I Picked up the bowl, set in the drain
When again she was gone, just like yesterday
I walked to my car, tears running down my face
Wondering why, she keeps haunting me this way
When there she was, in the rear view mirror
I yelled out I love you, and miss you my dear
And that I was sorry, that I drank that night
Just wish you'd forgive me, for the accident
That's when she whisperd I love you, and said it's ok
Then she was gone, just like yesterday

There Are Sounds of Ancient Thunders
There Are Sounds of Ancient Drummers
Calling … Brave Warriors
Gladiators and Warriors
And They’re Marching To The Cadence of Their Hearts’ Pounding
Marching, To The Cadence of The World’s Rage Resounding
They’re Going By The Beat of Their Heart’s Pumping
By The Steady Flow of Blood and Bloodlust, Tells Me Somethin’
… Warriors …
Courageous Warriors …
Chorus:
But, We’ve Seen These Men, Playing With Their Children
We’ve Seen These Sons and Their Laughter, I’m Hearing
We’ve Seen These Men, Loving Their Babies
And Tenderly Holding and Kissing Their Ladies
… Warriors …
Courageous Warriors …
2nd Chorus:
Oh Lord, Please Stop These Warriors’ Battle Cry
And The Battle Cry, Coming From Their Mothers and Wives
The Battle Cry, Coming From Their Little Ones’ Eyes
The Battle Cry, Coming From Warriors … When They Die
… Warriors …
Courageous Warriors …
Sticks and Stones, Swords, Arrows and Bombs
Lances, Knives, Hand to Hand Combat, Napalm
God Almighty, Oh, Thy Kingdom Come
Please Rescue Us, From The Kingdom of The Gun …
And Prophecy Is Marching – Listen, All Who Arms Bear
Warriors, Must Beat War Weapons Into Plowshares ( Isa. 2: 4 )
And When War, Is No More, Then We Will Hear
All Warriors’ Battle Cry, Will Be An Amen Cheer !
… Gentle Warriors …
Peace-Loving, Warriors …
2nd Chorus:
Oh Lord, Please Stop These Warriors’ Battle Cry
And The Battle Cry, Coming From Their Mothers and Wives
The Battle Cry, Coming From Their Little Ones’ Eyes
The Battle Cry, Coming From A Warrior’s … Last ‘ Why ? ’
… Warriors …
Courageous Warriors …
How Can Flesh and Blood, Mortal-Men, Be So Fearless, I Wonder
Are They Strengthened By Duty, Love and Honor
Facing Danger, Death and Being Torn Asunder
Sacrificing All, As A Fallen Soldier …
… Warrior …
Courageous Warrior …

I have heard the light
Her radiant but sad muse
Wavering across the spectrum LIFE
These ears are tuned to the melody
that continues to play throughout our
passages in this stratosphere Today
You might think Me a strange
to remember every frequency that
keeps ringing across my melancholy face
People,
as Myself,
Sensitive to the words
Verses that are unique and distinctively different
From any sound that reverberates around this Mighty World
Does it not surprise that my Ears are the same as these eyes
Made for listening as well for Peering
I am not such a predator that uses it for leering
but,
For attuning,
into & outer space of this Earth,
Her Vineyard of Wine that keeps expanding all of her taste
Not such a Waste,mind you
If you heard what I have..
You Would Listen with Love as well
I can Tell!!

The eclectic neglected
feel so disrespected
you know I wrecked it
where ever I step -ed
and you would, dismiss it?
I'm brain fried
a drain dried
step up to my
main eye
in the middle
of my seeing stones
I see your tone, its mellowdrone
Neglected eclectic
you seem so collective
it seems so effortless
the celebrated, all frustrated
because they can't get any more wasted
or useless
I won't waste it on you, another thought
I know I can't break through your drought
I know I can't prove to you, it's rotten
that doing the right thing is toughest often
I guess I'm neglected, come from the collective
and consciousness is overrated
for the freest all sleep naked.

Reach out and touch someone’s hand.
This will make the world a better place.
You can!
Reach out and help someone’s life plan.
This will help you find your life’s purpose.
You can!
Reach out and leave the surface of your home.
This will make you well-known.
You can!
Reach out and touch someone’s hand.
This will make the world a better place.
You can!

you took my soul in arkansas
but i ran with my spirit to phoenix
you took the challenge to the chase
and followed me there
i fought it out with you for three
years never indicatiing that
my soul was gone and you believed
you owned me spirit and all.....
i wrapped my spirit tenderly and
tiptoed out to arkansas in my
old wreck of a car......had three
flats a long the way....but made it
anyway
i thought i had escaped you when
i went to the breakfast bar and there
you sat all puffed up
and laughing really loud and
saying....did you really think i couldn't
beat that old car?
i couldn't even eat
i ran away very fast
when i realized that i
had my soul back
so no matter where you
follow me, no matter what you say
or swagger, or talk, you
finally lost all the way
the cost is almost unbearable
if i look at all the time at
once. i never look back
because i can't make it
go away.
i just go on and am happy
for each day that goes
by altho there are sometimes
i cannot sleep as for
watching out that something
bad will happen..........and then with
a fresh afternoon nap i realize
i have nothing to fear anymore
then.......i plaster a big smile on
my face and keep my soul warm.

There is a tear Lord that
Drop from my eye,
There is a tear Lord that
Drop from my eye
Guide me Lord through
This maze of confusion
I know you are the all
Mighty God
And will see me through
Slashing of the lightning
The angry roar of the
Thunder
Nothing falls short of your
Word you speak
My bit of faith call out
With a tearful plea
From my sorrow and pain
I asked in your loving name
To walk with me, carry me
Through this old sinful
Time
“And Lord, Oh, Lord”
Oh my dearest Lord
Carry me
Over those time’s of trouble
Fill me full of your word to
Keep me holy both night
And day
Dry these sorrowful tears
And let them be tears of joy
Oh, my Lord make me
Holy
Oh my Lord, Oh my Lord
Guide me through this sinful
Era..
Let me sing the love of our father
And speak your word
I will keep your commandments
Written in my heart
Where I can always have them
Near to not be
Forgotten in my daily duty
Just hold me Lord in your net
Of safety
Oh my Lord, You are truly to
Be praised..

I was born in nineteen sixty nine
just off the block and in my prime
now let me introduce you to
some pertty good friends of mine
Let's start with my uncle Jesse
to me he looks like he's ninety nine
but I love to watch him when he
takes nips from his moonshine
Here's my owners Bo and Luke
cousins of a kind just hanging out
with Daisy who looks
so sweet and so darn fine
But There's some other folks
that just don't like our kind
its those sheriff folks thats
watching the hazzard county line
Starting with their fearless leader Boss Hogg
Who's radioing all the frigging time to
Cooter and Davenport And to that rascal
Rosco P Coltrane who he cannot find
Now my life is such sweet devine
when your jumping in and out of my windows
while running from those sheriffs from Georgia County line
in my general lee waving a confederate flag thats in it's prime
Honking my horn to a dixie tune of same kind
Tribute To The Dukes Of Hazzard LOL
Also Entry For

Get Your Rebel On!
Tho This Poem Is Not About A Person
Changing My Life But The Time Era Did
And Something About That Show Changed Me
About Opening Your Heart And Home To All

Flying the recently of fell
snow in apiece
A crazy sigh seemly without
Of course—
So easily flying–so enjoying
Puller by wind
And come hell or high water
From the roofs or trees
And while the wind stopped
A clear an empty space
By effects remain.
Or while by any come-back
The winter around
In sort or strongly strike—
Again, flying the snow
Apiece, without of course—
Again flying the snow potted
Fill over streets—over roofs
Over the trees…
And may be snow-less indeed
The terrain.

Every day..
As I Look up.. in to the Heavens
Waiting and wondering
When Shall YOU.. Appear
When shall... You come
With Your Angels.. beside You
With Trumpets.. Sounding
Ever... so Loud..
For Everyone's ear.. to Hear.. of YOUR Coming
For Everyone's.. eye .. so Shall.. to See..
Your Magnificent.. Glorious Appearing
High in the Sky.. for whomsoever
belongs to thee
YOUR.. Returning for Us
As All.. the Angels Sing
Glory!.. Glory!.. Glory!
Our Magnificent King!
Jesus Christ! ..Our Savior!
So Ever.. Shall Reign!..
Then that moment In just a blink of an eye
We all will be changed--to Meet YOU in the Sky
For YOU...
YOU are..
Our Morning Star..
Shining... Purest Light
Your Gloriously..
and Divine..YOU are..
The Alpha & Omega..
Whom Was---Is---All---Times
Your Glorious Appearing
Sheer Ecstasy of Light
But then How will it be..
For all those..
whom.. don't even know you..
What will happen..
To all them?.. my Lord
For tis be.. ever so sad..
For I know.. You have given
Moments and chances
For them to come
unto YOU..
But why didn't they come
For didn't they even realize
Out of Love.. the price you paid.. for their lives
As You come unto them like a thief in the night
With Your Glorious Appearing
Sheer Ecstasy of Pure Light
Every day and night.. as I look up to the sky
In hopes to see.. the heavens open wide
Is Your Glorious appearing tis come tonight???
Come to Jesus.. be ready.. For His Glorious Appearing
Inspired by God.. tis a song.. God blessed me with..
Love always in Christ.. *Star Light

All of the world was new to me, I would not know what life would bring to me,but I
would come to know one of the GOD'S angels from my birth to many years later
you would not only walk me from being a young lady,But play a hand into my
becoming a woman,you gave so much of your love never letting on that the years
were catching up with you,you stayed with me til the end were you once took care
of me,we now looked after you,I miss those day's of talks and smoochies being
shared by our generation,I long to come home from the rat race to being at peace
around you,you could alway's bring a calmness to the house with your private
talks with GOD,you had the only line to him,you would alway's talk and sing the
praise of your man,I know now he is happy to have his lady by his side to serve
with him.

These last two poems are in honor of Mrs. Annie L. Darden who I only got to
know briefly but shared her love and life with me as if I was her own.
When I look at you,I see all the wisdom of ages before me,When I look into your
face,I see all that you have done for your family,When I hold your hands I feel all
the years of work in the fields that went into those hands to clothe us,When I look
at your feet,I see the long walks you took out in the plantation to feed us,When I
look into your heart,I see the unconditinal love,warmth and passion that you have
for your family,But when I stand back and see you,I see a young woman just
starting out her life,graciously with love for GOD and her family.

Through tortured pain you showed your love
With outstretched arms from above
You granted forgiveness through your word
For every sinner your cry was heard
Three nails held you on the cross for me
Where a sinners life was supposed to be
Your blood did run through heavens tears
As you begged forgiveness to save me here
Those were my nails that saved my soul
Those were my thorns that made me whole
Those were my tears in your eyes
That was my cross where they heard your cries
You took the place that was meant for me
Through flesh and nails you set me free
Through your words my heart has grown
As I wait for you to lead me home
I give you my love for all you gave
And give you my soul for the life you saved
Those were my nails that saved my soul
Those were my thorns that made me whole
Those were my tears in your eyes
That was my cross where they heard your cries
You took the place that was meant for me
Through flesh and nails you set me free

They say that she is crazy
talking to the canyon;
Listening to the voices
that echo from the rocks.
She knows that they are out there,
the spirits of the Ancients,
And the moon, it makes her restless
as it lights the path she walks.
The Storykeeper told her
the water there flows crimson;
That the grass for the ponies,
is lush and green and tall.
Among the stalks of sky-blue corn,
medicine drums are calling;
The Old Ones shadow-dancing
as the twilight starts to fall.
So she burns a little sage
on a fire made of cedar;
Sending prayers out to them
in a shower of sparks and smoke.
The flames bid her welcome
into the Sacred Circle;
Her flute repeating softly,
the promises that he spoke.
For her sacrifice and faith
the Old Ones send a message;
A hawk dips down and beckons
to follow ever high.
The path is steep and rocky,
but she just keeps on climbing;
Waiting for the moment
when she’ll be allowed to fly.
One day, she simply disappeared.
I like to think she found it;
That emerald endless valley
where the Spirit Dancers dwell.
The only question left...
do we deserve to go there?
I guess that’s just a story
that only time can tell.
So, will they think I’m crazy
talking to the canyon?
Listening for her voice
to echo from the stones...
Their thoughts do not concern me
in my quest for the Great Forever;
Wandering the Crimson Canyon trails,
searching for my home.
*With love to TR...who set my feet back upon the good road.

Perspective's changing
Paradise waits for all
You needn't fear a thing
As death begins to call
Slowly you fall into the depths of peace
Surrounded by the sun
Its shining so bright
Burning your soul into new life
Overwhelming
The joy washes over you
You've realized
What you've always known
The world shines beneath your feet
The entire universe sits inside your hand
Knowing grants power
You can obtain it all
Change the world
to grant you happiness
See that joy is not hopeless
You are
You know that for sure
The one thing existing
Its all your choosing
The times you were winning
The times you were loosing
Time itself
Dies as you find yourself
Lost with a sure sense of where you're going
In a maze always growing
The constant learning
making it all so simple
Slowly you fall deeper into the depths of peace
Enveloped by the sun
Enlightened by its brilliant rays
Igniting the immortal fire within' your heart
Overpowered
Strength flows through your veins
You know
What you've always known
You know
You've always been

the One Omnipotent God
does unconventional things
and many out there agree
until they find out that it means
His ways are passed finding out
but if we will simply obey
the world will see what God does
and hear what God has to say
{Bridge}
So who directs God's Spirit to do as they feel
He's the One who leads and guides and goes where He wills
Teaching us as we follow Christ we become unpredictable
Getting to know Him, doing exploits, strong and unconventional
Would you do what Jesus did?
Would you say what Jesus said?
If you could see and hear your Father
Be so unpredictable
Would you do it how He did it?
Would you say it how He said it?
If you could see and hear your Father
Be so unconventional [Chorus]
those full of the Spirit of God
do unconventional things
and many out there agree
until they find out that it means
His thoughts are not their thoughts
His ways are not their ways
and those God directs perform
and speak like Jesus does and says

God Is Blessing Us
the angels in the heaven are singing the birds are
chirping, the bell are rining the flowers are blooming
and the eagles fly free symbolizing freedom he gave

gratitude with a heart faithful and true alway do on
to other the way you'd like them to do on to you

life with his love giving us strength to face another
day god is blessing us all.living in the power of
his grace there is nothing in our lives that we
cannot face for in his arms were forever safe yes god

GOD AND ME
Verse1
God and me together on a lifelong journey
Walking hand and together
For he is lovingly
Guiding me to the beautiful forever
Oh yea friends god and me
Together was unbeatable team
Leading me to a heavenly
Place where together we’ll spend enmity
Chorus
God and me walking together
Guiding me to the beautiful here after
In the sweet glowing rapture
In his love I have found the truth
Everything is now brand new
He’s forgiven me for the sins of my misspent youth
For he is life’s greatest treasure
And together there’s nothing god and me can’t do
Verse2
With just the wave of his mighty hand
God can make the land
Reach and green
He can take away the sad
In your heart and turn it into glad
Yea to me he’s not only a lifelong friend
He’s the greatest gift I’ve ever had
And that’s why god and me are just like that

ANOTHER PIECE OF YOU
I can't feel the morning, livin without you.
Pickin up the pieces, broken all in two.
Mornin just don't make my day
Bein without you.
It's an empty feelin
I'll be goin through. Goin through.
chorus
Don't say good mornin Sunshine.
It's just another cloudy day I'm going through.

When you know, all I need's another piece of you.
Another piece of you.
You can make my mornin. Only love will do.
Fixin all the pieces that you broke in two.

Oh Lord I’ve cried for so long
The fears of being alone
The emptiness that lingers on
King from above show me happiness show me love
Never knowing which way to turn
Questions I keep asking myself
There is so much confusion in my mind
Advice my friends keep giving
God in heaven hear my plea, help me help me
Looking up to the sky with unanswered questions
Hoping I see an answer
I keep trying praying to you only I can hear it
Sacrifices taken in stride while I hold my
breath and pretend not to cry
Keep trying is ringing in my ear
Keep trying never give up
Look into the mirror and deep into your eyes
Look hard and sharp
do you know the person you see
Or is there a stranger staring back
Life can be cruel, life can be kind
You’ve got to shape yourself into what you feel is right
Believe in who you are, know what you want
Become what you believe in
The motivation in your heart has to be strong and true
The tears will come and go and your fears
Will become your strength surviving day by day
With what you learn on the way
Tomorrow will come and go
All your hopes and dreams
The sky will once again shine
A spirit flying free
Sing with laughter in your heart
Have faith in yourself and the Lord above
The path you seek is closer than you think
Keep trying, never give up never stop believing

Will you help me find the words
Oh Calliope
I need a muse, something to inspire
Oh Calliope
Find the words to enchant
Oh Calliope
Everything I give
Everything I write
Everything I want
Everything I need
Everything I try
You will inspire
So come to me
Enchanting me
Oh Calliope
You're all really need
Oh Calliope
The words I write
Tainted by your touch
Oh Calliope
You are not to know
What will become of thee
Oh Calliope
You are my heart
You are my soul
You’re all I used to be
So whisper to me
Oh Calliope
Everything I give
Everything I write
Everything I want
Everything I need
Everything I try
You will inspire,
So come to me
Enchanting me
Oh Calliope
I could always need you
Something I can always use

Everything I give
Everything I write
Everything I want
Everything I need
Everything I try

one
everything is God
everything truth
i now bloom
i cry with innocence
i honor the immense splenddid pleasure

I just gotta tell you
about this man I know
How He follows me around
where ever I go
I don't even mind much
cause I love Him so
This is how
my story goes
Once I was lost
but then was found
His voice that of an angel
Lifts me from the chains of hell
I know He'll alway's be right by my side
Even if I'd gone off and have died
I give thanks to the Lord above
Wishing I could ride on His winged doves
I'd shout from His highest mountains
And tell it to the world over and over again
How much this guy means to me so
As I etched His name across the snow
Jesus Is the only one for me
Once you feel His love too
you'll surely agree

Father

Holy Spirit

VI. On a cross the pain was so great. I didn’t feel the nails, but I believe it’s true. If
it hadn’t been for Jesus, oh where would I be? My soul would be lost if He hadn’t died for
me.
CH. If it hadn’t been for Jesus, oh, where would I be? On Calvary, is where He died
just for me. I don’t know why but He took my place, If it hadn’t been for Jesus and God’s
amazing grace.
VII. Amazing grace, how sweet the sound! That saved a wretch like me! I once was
lost but now I’m found. If it hadn’t been for Jesus, who set me free.

How beautiful is our God...
And I shall praise him greatly!
His presence has blessed me
and filled my life completely,
In Mt. Zion, he's to be praised...
in the beauty of his holiness.
He's more than worthy of praise,
in his glory and righteousness.
The joy of the earth...
and beautiful is the situation...
To all of mankind... He's extended
mercy and salvation.
He is known in high places as a
God of refuge and shelter.
I will shout of his praise...
there's no reason to whisper.
He is our God, and forever
and ever, he shall reign.
He's is worthy of all praise...
that is due to his name!
He shall lead and guide me
from birth until death.
And his praise shall continually
be on my breath.
Thanks be to God for
everything he has done!
And thanks to him
for sending Jesus... HIS son!
He gives everlasting water
that never shall run dry.
It is no secret how much
he loves you and I!
By Jim Pemberton
Read Psalm 48: 1-4

Verse 1:
You're the first one that cared
You showed me the way
Now, I'm no longer scared
Yeah, today's a new day
You've taken me in
And shown me what's right
You've become my best friend
You've shown me the light
Chorus:
When will others see Your presence?
When will others sing Your glory?
When will others want to hear
All about Your life story?
Verse 2:
Lord, You've been through it all
Both through gain and through loss
And I'll Never forget
Why You died on that cross
Lord, You are the Truth
So, there's no need to hide
I know I can go to You
And into You I can confide
Chorus:
Oh, Lord I see Your Presence
And I will always sing Your glory
And I will tell others
All about Your life story
Verse 3:
Oh, I love You so much
And it kills me to see
How we become so obsessed
In what others want us to be
Oh, You're in my heart
You're in the depths of my soul
You've been there from the start
And it's now that I know
Chorus:
Lord, You are present
You will Always have the glory
And others Need to know
All about Your life story

When I call and no one's there
When I try to see inside
Will I find an answer
If I look into my heart
(Take me as I am) Look inside of me
(Take me as I am) Whoever it may be
(Take me as I am) Set me free & let me go
No more of your rules
This life's my own
Let me find the way to see who I am
Will you take me
To the place I want to be
(As I am) Don't get me wrong now
(As I am) I know where I belong
Take me as I am
(Song modulates up)
Sing it twice
Take me......
As I am

Going over memories taking in the ocean breeze I do what I can to ease the pain sometime I walk in the rain just to shield my cold blue tears It's been two years and I'm still holding on cause letting go is a defeat I'll never know. I remember when you asked dance with me one more time I want to remember how It feels to be in your arms, If you ever find your self unable to carry on just look to the heavens and dance I'll always be right there with you dancing the whole night
through.

People will say O dear Jesus
You are moon in the shades of God
Your mind is so soft and broad
O Jesus O Jesus
You are so beautiful
Jesus you are so warm man but you are so cool
People will sing O dear Jesus
You are moon in the shades of God
Your mind is so soft and broad
O Jesus O Jesus
You are so beautiful
Jesus you are so warm man but you are so cool
People will dance with the music
You can really do magic
O Man you are so fantastic
O Jesus O Jesus
You are so beautiful
Jesus you are so warm man but you are so cool
People will sing and dance
People will dance and sing
O Jesus O Jesus
You are so beautiful
Jesus you are so warm man but you are so cool

Did you ever want to let go
and just be a memory?
Or just so jaded from the world that
you wish you couldn't see?
Anger and hatred ruled over me
easily
Until you came along and saved
me.
I was so conflicted about what was right
and wrong
Was so sick and tired of being swept away
in the darkest of storms.
Your hand it shined as the rain bounced off
the skin
and as our lips embraced a new life
for us was about to begin.
All the pain and misery
Take it all away from me
As i lay down to sleep
our eyes synch together as
do our hearts beat.
Before you everything
felt so blue, felt used
like everything i ever wanted
fell right through.
Then you appeared
out of no where
letting me know that it's you who cared
understanding, never demanding
Showing me in the hardest of times
there's really nothing to fear.
All the pain and misery
Take it all away from me
As i lay down to sleep
our eyes synch together as
do our hearts beat.

While the Ancestors worshipped
they shot them one and all.
They thought they had stopped the dance
as they watched the Old Ones fall.
But what they did not know
is that we do not die...
Their bullets set us free
and sent our souls to fly.
High above this shadow plain
where the spirit beasts do roam;
We roost upon their sacred backs,
and the Buffalo carry us home.
We dance for our lives
for the secrets of the Earth.
We dance while they kill us
and through death find rebirth.
We dance night and day,
to the drums thundering low.
Singing medicine songs
to honor the Buffalo.
Though we may not rise today
The People will not die;
As long as we keep dancing,
the Ghosts...You...and I.
We dance for the things for which we yearn;
Grass covered plains, the Buffalo’s return.
The fever of freedom forever will burn,
While we’re dancing with the ghosts.
For there is no time frame on prophesy,
This is the Vision Great One gave to me,
The Heart of The People will always be,
Dancing with the Ghosts...
(Wado Waya Streeby for understanding.)

For the bounty of the earth
Come Ye thankful people come
For it is Autumn
And the leaves are coming down
Run run sweet John Barley Corn
Let's play ring around the pumpkin
As the harvest moon shines
On the jingle jangle scarecrow
For I'am just a little acorn
Bounded for another harvest home
As the wind shakes the barley
Like a slow Thanksgiving waltz
For our farmers sets the table
To a wondrous haymakers hoedown
For we bid ado to a Shokan's fairwell
And now thank we to all our God
Happy Harvest Time To All
Love Kathy And Jenny

Chorus: I’m on a journey for the Lord.
I’m on a journey for the Lord.
I’m on a journey for the Lord.
I’m on a journey for the Lord.
VI. I may stumble, I may fall, but I’ll be humble through it all. I’m on a journey for
the Lord, I’m on a journey for the Lord.
VII. When I’m lost He’s by my side. When I’m down He lifts me up. I’m on a journey
for the Lord, everyday and every night.

He Will Come … “Bringing Kingdom Come” … … He Will Come

I'm sitting here in this room
these four walls are closing in.
All i do is sit and think
about the things that might have been.
What could I've done,
what should I've done
to change the ending to this story?
what could i do,
what i should do
so this pain does not destroy?
i fall.
I pray.
I beg forgiveness.
I stand.
I rise.
I feel God's presence.
I'm cleansed.
I'm free.
I am a new creation.
All these feelings rising inside,
love, trust, happiness, pure elation.
The old me burns away,
the new me rises out.
Each and every step ordained by God Himself without a doubt.
He made me in His image of this I'm sure,
and I make a declaration today,
with a heart that's true and pure.
To do God's will and praise His name in everything I do,
and because of His love I will never be the same,
nor would I want to.
To continue on the path that i was following would be foolish and unwise,
so here i go one foot in front of the other,
and from these ashes I will rise.

I'm moving up to graceland
you know that mansion over the hilltop
to have just a little talk with jesus
for I don't knock upon his doors
for I know the gates swing open
how great thou art
that we're blessed
in the wonderful grace of jesus
for it's written in red
as I was made a christian
and saw the light while
strolling down beulual lane
out in the sunshine
dear father in heaven
we all can do good
something beautiful
even a whispering hope
sitting down by the old rugged cross
take my hand
precious lord
don't leave me crying in the chapel
move me to your higher ground
crossing the river of jordan
fill my cup lord
to let me rise again
for without you I haven't got a prayer
so please take me as I am jesus
for I'll remain tried and true
for I know there's somebody bigger than you or I
in this wonderment of thy amazing grace

Listening Thanks All

I'm on stage
Sweating
Voice tonging the drums
My screams are performing porn with the horns
Sexing the strings
Necking the rhythm section
Grooving on the spot
Getting hotter than hot
Rolling my hips while the lights are on top of me
Snapping my fingers like a deep fryer be poppin' grease
All the fellas wanna shake my hand
All the ladies want to be in my palm like a fortune teller's grammar
The smoke filled room is filled with chairs but everbody just choose to stand up
Tapping their feet
Clapping their hands after they've captured the beat
FEELING GOOD!!!
That i'm a man that just so happens to understand
That the boss been working you a little too hard
Or that I done went through too much hell to find heaven in you
I don't mind turning you a-loose
But I just can't let ya get too far
Don't be nervous
Just let
Go of your worries
Cause they don't make good pets
And you can never tell when and if they're coming back again
But you know that the good times will just pick up and go
I don't need to see no scholars or doctors when I'm running a fever with a sore
throat
All I need is a bottle of vodka or gin and peppermint for the common cold
Either I'm not your preacher,teacher,doctor,or healer or I'm all of the above
Turn on your radio,play a tape,spin a record,put on a cd,turn on your TV or
You might be lucky enough to come and see me down at the club

When I rise

When I crumble

When I yearn

The Ultimate Question
What If?
The sky was green
The sea, tranquil and placid
What If?
The world was at peace
Destiny could be dynasty
What If?
Death could be a new beginning
Time would never grow older
What If?
All poets knew what they were to write
Every soul was saved
The question we all ask is
What If?

Glory, Glory, Glory, Glory be to my mighty King for yes
In the Lord I have found my peace, and through Him
My one acrimonious release, and furthermore He is
the one that I adore, and for His goodness I will praise
Him for evermore, as in love with Him my Heart does sing
Glory be to my mighty King, and once more and
Moreover, He has held me in His favor and for His Glory
I have found, His love, it does not waver and righteous
His mercy is just the thing, as my heart to him does sing
Glory, Glory, Glory be to my mighty King, and as to mine
My better favor it is the greatest gift in measure and
as well for me and mine alone, my very treasure yes that
Of His saving grace, and as I rest up under the Strength
and Power of the Masters wing, for Him alone
My heart does sing, Glory, Glory, Glory,
Glory be to my mighty King.

as it opened up my eyes
makes me just want to reach out to that sky
and pull you close and near by
for this I'll tell you why
is what I love about you

verse 3
for you make me feel so high
when I know your standing close by
take my hand lord for I am very shy
and I promise I won't cry
and for this you'll know why

Tribute To Christ Our Lord
{Amen}

Son,
let your feet be knowing something
and let your voice be knowing something too.
For the time has come
when rumbling and trembling voices shall cease
so roll your eyes and sway ur lips
with song that are tall and strong.
let it raise the dead to dance
let it mingle,
Oh! let it mingle with a million tongued ligthening clatter
of the drum of mordern time.

VI. Look at this place. There must be some mistake. I’m on the wrong side of
Heaven, but I’m saved by grace. I don’t hear angels sing, but I hear church bell ring. There
ain’t nothing like His Amazing Grace.
CH. I’m on the wrong side of Heaven, cause there ain’t no streets of gold. I’m on the
wrong side of heaven, cause there ain’t no mansions here. I’m on the wrong side of Heaven,
cause I ain’t seen Jesus yet. I’m on the wrong side of Heaven cause there ain’t no streets of
gold.
VII. I know I’ll be, up there some day, with all my friends and family. But I’ll have to
wait, to enter Heaven’s gates. I’m on the wrong side of Heaven, but I won’t be late.

God I prostrate in my thought on your feet
I want to meet you please show me the street.
God please make my works easy be it big or small
God please never neglect me though I am your doll.
God please light up my soul like morning of the day
God please be my Guide never let me go astray.
(Amen)

verse1:
God gave us everything
We have faith
And we're still learning
God, be our teacher
God, be our guide
It is through the seed of love you've sown that we survive

God give me strength
God take the fear away
verse2:
It begins with you and me
God planted little seeds
To grow arms like branches of a tree
We reach to everyone
Grant me compassion today
Chorus2:
Make us strong in spirit
Guide us to a lamp that's lit
With the golden light of truth
Bring us, God, closer to you
verse3:
Our job is to teach and be taught
Given two hands
One gives while the other receives his love
Manifest his reality ask and it is given Speak do and think
Love gratitude, peace and harmony
All that you desire, all that you need
Will be provided if only you will receive
chorus3:
God like the ocean
Let us heal each other amidst the waves of commotion
Give us courage and strength too
On our path through this life and in our hearts on our way to you
Let your angels guide us in our time of need
All will be provided through them when we are open to receive

"Where is this place they call The West?”,
a stranger asked of me;
“Where does it begin, where does it end,
where are the boundaries?"
I gave this question lots of thought,
I considered it quite carefully;
For everything from the Atlantic coast is West,
all the way to the Pacific sea.
Cowboy is a often an mis-used term,
open to interpretation,
And so it is, with The West,
it becomes a generalization.
The answer seemed too simple,
though it gave me cause to ponder;
The ways and life of the Cowboy
and how he is bound to wander.
I smiled as I gave my answer,
and please don't think it odd,
But the words I spoke, I truly believe,
were given to me by God.
"Everyone has a different definition,
and no single one is right;
It's like trying to define the Universe,
or freedom or faith or sunlight.
The West is like the sky above,
endless and wrapped around us all;
It's anywhere there's the soul of man,
or the sound of this Earth's call.
It's the place where we're going,
all the places we have been,
The past, the present and the future;
where-ever you find a friend.
Where is The West?
You're standing there;
It's no one location,
it's everywhere.
It's no place in particular,
it's anywhere living is an art;
It's any place a Cowboy is,
it's A Place in the Heart."

The angels are in the sky today
Verse1
There's something in the sky today
Holding me in its loving embrace
It Keeps my heart, my body and my soul safe
Yes the angels give me the strength
Take life as it comes, day by day
Through joy and pain, grief and happiness
The sweetest miracles that god ever made
Filling my life with total love
Chorus
The angels are in the sky today
They bring such a smile of joy to my face
And I know that I’ll always be safe
Guided by his ever lasting love
Verse2
There's something in the sky today
angels watching o'er us from way up
In sweet heaven above, God's special gift of love
Is heard through many wings and voices
To each and everyone of us
When we're worried about what is to come
Let our faith in the lord above be our grace
And save our souls for the Last Day

come on come on get up
it will be worth it
for there is a King in you
in this spiritual love
the love of confession
in thy Father's house
in thy Father's house
come on come on high lift Him
cry no more
for Jesus is love
through the power of Christ
hail to the word of power
the power in thy house
in thy Father's house
in thy Father's house
come on come on I'm ready
bring in the noise
for it sounds so beautiful
come on come on let's dance
dance to His grace
for there's no one better then you
in the sanctuary
in thy Father's house
in thy Father's house

Go to the ant and learn (2x's)
Go to the ant, ant, ant
Go to the ant and learn- (Chorus)
She digs her house down deep
She builds her house up high
And though she has no king
Her armies stay alive
In the summer she will reap
For the coming winter sky
She gathers everything
Her colonies survive
(Chorus)
Consider all her ways
She's small but she expects
Her people stay as one
And she is strong and wise
So number all your days
Prepare for what comes next
And til everything is done
Let no sleep tempt your eyes
Go to the ant, ant, ant (3x's)
Go to the ant
(Chorus)

With a shout!
At the last trump
The archangel's
Voice shall be heard
For the Lord
Himself shall come
So encourage
All with these words! (Chorus)
If we believe that Jesus died
And in three days He rose again
Then we believe that God will bring
With Christ those who now sleep in Him
For if only in this life we have hope in Jesus Christ
We would be the most miserable of men
But Jesus is the Resurrection and He's the Life
Being buried with Him we shall rise again
(Chorus)
We who are alive and in Jesus still abides
Won't precede those who are asleep in Him
So the dead in Christ first shall arise
Then we who remain shall be caught up with them
For we all shall not sleep, but we all shall be changed
Into a being and a likeness of the Lord
When we meet Him face to face in the clouds in the air
We shall be with Him always and evermore
(Chorus)

I cry so many times and yet no one sees it
I cry so deep in my heart and yet no one hears it
sadly I can look you in the face and show you joy
when deep down I feel pain,I can give you smiles
with my words and never let on I'm in pain ,my mask
is well and you'll never see it,for you see I've learned to disguise it,
I can give you love and never know it,why because I stopped learninig how to
show it.

CH. Jesus You are my king, Jesus You are my lord, oh, Jesus, You are my savior, Oh,
Jesus, you are my king.
VI. You are everything to me, lord. You are everywhere I seem to be. You hear my
plea, and You meet my needs, Lord. Oh, Jesus, You are my king.
VII. I will trust You, I will honor You. Oh, Jesus show me the way everyday and every
night. I will trust You. Guide me the way.

I am the earth beneath you feet
soft and soothing in the heat
warm and cozy in the cold
feeding you as you grow old
I am the sky above your head
I gave you covers to warm your bed
Iam the stars up in the sky
I gave angels wings to fly
chorus
I am the God within your heart
and from you Iam i'll never part.
I am the God within your soul
and I breathe life for you to know
I am the heaven shining bright
I am the sun that give you light
I am the moon above the earth
I am the miracle of giving birth
I am the universe great and small
I am the plants the trees so tall.
i am the rain,the wind and snow
I am in everything you know
chorus
I am among all living things
I am what makes your heart sing

VI. I’m at the altar, I’m on my knees. I’ve been praising, giving God the praise. He
deserves it all after all He’s done. I keep on praising Him, I keep on praising.

Enter into the temple that God made it to be,
It is now an empty hollow shell filled with love's memories,
It has served men well it's doors and windows once open,
The men who entered did not tell,
They were hoping to gain in experience it was then an institution,
Now it's bare and forsaken there is not much use in it,
There's been repeated attempts to restore a now still entity,
To relive the days in the sun to rekindle the flames of desire,
To the love that once meant so much,to be the lover of great men once again,
It would be painful to go there because I was once free of care,
Loving was so easy it was like second nature to me,
Now the lustful days has transformed my heart into a painful memory,
To feel ecstacy once again is impossible you see,
I went down to ecstacy,way past satisfaction and I lost my virginity,
My body once God's temple he used to dwell inside,
Love has forsaken it's beauty the years have been unkind,
My hair once black and wavy is now white and a little panky,
My hips once round and curvy are spread out like the sea,
I've burdened none in hopes that I will survive the tomorrows,
I'd like to love for eternity on fantasies and dreams,
I come across such useless things at night as I wonder through
the dimly lit room,it smells of candles and sweet with fragrance,
Finding nothing like two arms to lie in,these are things meant for virgins.

sing a song of trees
shedding down its leaves
shake all its branches
till you get your needs in basket
sing a song of fores
running round its circuit
take part in the contest
to get your games arrested
sing a song of streams
sitting by its bank
let in your hook and line
to get the fishes evicted
sing a song of the sky
watching its wealth bird life
set your eyes and catapult
to get the birds demoted
sing a song of dishes,
sitting round the table,
handle your cutleries with car
to get your meal imprisoned
sing a song of fields
playing round its corners
lay on the leisure mat
to get your nerves relaxed
sing a song of life
living in love and peace
face the two sides of the coin
till your story gets to the end

I have never seen ocean and I have never seen mountain
But I have seen you and want to see you again and again
I have never seen forest and I have never seen desert
But I have seen you and really want to win your tender heart
I have never seen pyramid or ShahJahan’s Taj Mahal
But I have seen you and want to adore you once and for all
I have never seen Great Wall or Babylon’s hanging garden
But I have seen you and want to carry your all the burden

Don’t you get in my way!
And don’t you dare try to stop me now…
Because if you do, I shall warn you
That you’ll be falling right before me…
As the sun rises, I am ready to fight
I feel this energy within me begin to escalate
And manifest itself into a spirit! This is great!
These fists of mine will tackles anything and crush
All those who get in my way!
Don’t you get in my way!
And don’t you dare try to stop me now!
Because if you do, I shall warn you
That you’ll be falling right before me!
As the moon continues to rise through the night
This spirit within me beckons to try out
These fists of mine right now! I feel it!
It is guiding me down a path that I
Must see to the very end!
Don’t you get in my way!
And don’t you dare try to stop me now!
Because if you do, I shall warn you
That you’ll be falling right before me!
As the sun rises…
As the moon rises…
These fists of mine will tackle anything and crush
All those who get in my way!
Don’t you get in my way!
And don’t you dare try to stop me now!
Because if you do, I shall warn you
That you’ll be falling right before me!

mama tell me the story again

and sacrifice to be born again

and I'm free to be me

now watches over my family
for I know lord you are thy healer
who can take it all away
so mama turn your eyes upon jesus
as awesome is the lord most high

Gospel Song In Making

Sing unto the Lord! All the earth
and every nation!
Proclaim each day the wonders
of his salvation!
Declare his glory among all
of the heathen…
His wondrous works shout
from beneath them!
Great is our God and so greatly
to be praised!
He is to be feared and honored
above all gods displayed.
All of man’s gods are empty and false idols.
Our God created the heavens.
His word is in our bibles.
Glory and honor are in
God’s divine presence.
Strength and honor reveal
his magnificence!
Give unto the lord all you
people and rejoice!
Giving him glory and honor.
As we lift up our voice.
I shall give the Lord the glory and
worship his name…
The beauty of his holiness… I seek to obtain!
Our God is awesome and he
reigns supreme…
He is our righteousness.. Our everything!
YOU are my God, whom I shall
forever love so dear.
And I anxiously wait for that day
you shall appear!

Read 1 Chro. 10:23-28

Listen to the epitaph
reading in the papers
how they summarized
your life into one small
page.
How i burn to hear your voice
or see that smile once again
it's weird seeing your face
on the obituary's, the hurt
turning into rage.
And in your memory
i'll go on for you
and in your memory
there's nothing i wouldn't do
in your memory
i know that you'll never fade away
in your memory
i'll live on for another day.
When i was young i remember
you taking care of me, now looking
down on me, are you proud of the
person i turned out to be?
Are you that shining star in the sky
at night? Or the brightest ray of sunlight?
or was that your perfume i smelled when
the wind picked up just right? The pretty
shadow that i see?
And in your memory
i'll go on for you
and in your memory
there's nothing i wouldn't do
in your memory
i know that you'll never fade away
in your memory
i'll live on for another day.

Beyond the sun I can rest my weary soul
Beyond the sun I will no longer feel this cold
No sorrowed brow like I have now
right from the start you will cleanse my heart
beyond the sun I will find a love untold.
I’ll be free of grief, and no longer feel the pain
rejoice each day far away-and for eternity I will wait
till the master and his new world unfold.
Beyond the sun I’ll see much happiness
and I pray to him I will truly be blessed
beyond the sun the light will show the way
and I will be free from this darkness
that we live in today.
I hope somehow in this life I touched a few
maybe one of them was you
and you will pass on a smile, or a touch
yes please share
so God knows there are many that still care.
Beyond the sun, there will be no more anger
or war
once again a great vision for this place as there was before,
So as my earthly life ends,
many more will begin,
and no matter how bad it may seem
I’ll be there beyond the sun
and that endless stream
with the masters love I am there.

Though you may be sad loosing a loved one..
You weren't there When God lost his only son..
You may think you have many a debtor...
You weren't there when Jesus was betrayed with thirty pieces of silver...
Though you may be weary and laden with despair..
You didn't witness when they tormented him and didn't care...
Although you may be in agony and immense pain..
You weren't there when the Lamb was fatally slain.
You may think that you cannot carry on and life is grim..
You weren't there when they mocked and spit on him..
Although you may have too many worries at hand..
Look down, you weren't there when they put nails in CHRIST'S bleeding hands.
Although you think you have been badly scorned...
You weren't there when they forced on his head, a crown of thorns..
Though you may feel that everything in your life is going wayside.
You weren't there to feel the sword that pierced HIS bleeding side.
Though you may think that you really don't want to live.
Christ loved us enough to die on the cross, and he will forgive.

No Love in childhood, it's understood why we love our hood,
Raised by the village so I feel it,
Afeni says a child needs knowledge in the realest,
Everyones a teacher, so I listen to hear it,
Keep my ears to da street, cuz it speaks as it rots,
wit drugs and cops, posin mixed wit rock,
On my Block, You either survive or get knocked.
This Man we call Tube Socks, Lives outside 711,
wit a sign that says waitin on heaven,
Cant give um cash, cuz hes on crack, wonder why he gotta be like that?
Sometimes I just stare, wonder why hes there and Im here.
It was tough growing up, I saw to much to soon,
Seven years old open the curtain in my room
see a gang out back, always said I'd never be like that.
But life changes like a river,
and I became a fiend for the liquor,
Get high and Prophesize while smokin da swisher.
Don't think I'm a saint, cuz I'm just a sinner,
I see da bigger picture, its all connected,
Im to young to understand it, but I try and respect it.

Free from the cages
Which trapped so many
for such long ages
Run now
Freedom
Is such a glorious thing
No longer oppressed
or enslaved to another's will
The world is yours now
Fly to the ends of this world
Swim in the depths
Limitless and free
You cannot be stopped by anyone
With your new found strength
You gain self pride
Reasons to fight for life
Pushing on through never ending strife
You'll know pure happiness
When it all comes to an end
So for you there is not much to say
After you live this way
You see the barriers that were created
Laying in rubble all around you
You're escape has arrived
It did not come from the sky
You hold the lock and key
Turn the switch and be free
See the brilliance of yourself
That you are everything that was
You are all that will be
None hold sway over your mind
The time of end is nigh
You've said all good-byes
Slowly consumed by it
You'll live on in spirit
To endure yet another journey
Continue on
My ever vigilant friends
Take all in life
and change it for yourself
You are the one true thing
In this whole domain
Never forget you are divine

Through our wish
Through our goals
Through our done mean
Through a compliment decide by the garden
Minute having a coming --
Minute always passing, creating
A matter turn alive
We not confused reality came from mentality --
On goals for, married being us cute
Thou, through wish goals merged
of our mean
The garden the memories
Over the minutes coming
And always sort a matter
From reality, from mentally
Flying on the handle.

In my life and times
been betrayed and been lied to
used everything just to get me
by the nights, that were so cold
just wanted to let go, and fade away
looking for that sweet escape, but
always thinking maybe im to late.
And ive done things that im not proud of
no im far from an angel, but did i really deserve
those i cared for to let me down again?
What's so wrong with wanting a family?
They just wanted to break me through to
the skin. Leave me here just like the animal
you treated me like to begin with.
Seems like this might be my fate.
All my life i always wanted to feel the sweetest escape
in the arms of someone who would look me in the face
Someone who would understand that my plan
was to get away from this place.
All my life i always wanted to feel the sweetest escape
in the arms of someone who could look me in the face
Someone who would understand that where i am
bad memories are hard to erase.
All i need is your Sweetest Escape.
People used to break me down, not with
fists but with there words
till i was lying ill, fatally bleeding
unto the floor.
But as soon as you entered my life
everything changed, and nothing
felt painful anymore. As you took my
hand, and led me out of darknesses
door.
And with you there's finally hope
a new place i know i can cope
and be here, not scared of being
pushed back down, broken down
to my core.
And i know you'd never hurt me
because i know that's just not you
In the darkness i just couldn't see
until the love you shined led me
right to you.
All my life i always wanted to feel the sweetest escape
in the arms of someone who would look me in the face
Someone who would understand that my plan
was to get away from this place.
All my life i always wanted to feel the sweetest escape
in the arms of someone who could look me in the face
Someone who would understand that where i am
bad memories are hard to erase.
All i need is your Sweetest Escape.

Her eyes were dry
When she removed the ring from her finger
She didn't shed a tear
For this man she called her husband
She felt her pains inside
Gently fade from deep inside her
She watched his family stare
As they whispered behind her back
She just smiled and nodded
Without a tear in her eyes
For tonight his days of beating her
Ended as the day turned black
Her eyes were Dry
When she walked passed the casket
She didn't say a word
When she saw the stillness on his face
For those strings upon her back
Were released in his final minute
She now walks the streets alone
With no worry or fears of home
Again she's making friends
And talking on the phone
For today her fears are gone
As she smiles beside his stone

I’m a big timer
No one out there finer
I’m making big cheese.
So get on your knees
And bow down to me.
I’m the best a big timer.
No one out there finer.
Don’t hate.
Congratulate,
The big cheese.
Big timer,
With dollars to the ceiling.
Don’t hate .
Congratulate.
You should’ve been working hard,
With me.
Instead of hardly working.
I’m reaping,
From the working,
While you been jerking,
Who’s the big timer?
I am God’s creation,
Working in His will,
For my life.
Say it once.
Say it twice.
No one’s finer.
I’m an original
From the rack
Of the universe’s best designer
God’s child
Not to be cloned
Or faked by any of Satan’s wile
No one’s finer.
I’m a big timer.

Dreaming of a Saturday
When we will be together
Ill never have happier days
I pray this lasts forever
I'm not the usual guy
Who only calls you when it's right
I'm yours even if I die
And forever for you ill fight
It's not about your looks
Or what you do and say
God is first in your books
That's all that matters anyway
My life would be completed
And my past is burned and charred
We could never be defeated
Or even scratched or scarred
I know you'll be afraid
Of how I show all my affection
This poem shows how I'm made
The mirror with my reflection
I know you have been told
This same story before
But THAT world is just so cold
Come to me where it's warm
In these things you have my word
And my eternal trust and heart
No matter what you've heard
I just hope that we can start
And pay no attention
To the world that wants you back
I'm here, Its my intention
To protect you from such attacks
"One day" you'll realize and see
That I'm telling you the truth
&
with what you mean to me
For words ---- There is no use...

Castle Walls
Who would harbor the devils
if I could put them out of him
and what makes any of us think
that we are better than them
live another day
another day my friend
and know that those who truly believe
repent and turn away from sin
for if we want to build God's kingdom on earth
we must realize his Kingdom within
so that on the day of resurrection
we will be allowed to live as gods again
for the Lord will choose and the chosen
are his wife, his church, and his children
these will heal the sick and raise the dead
according to the will of the Father
and who knows what else was said
live your life as a book of life
lest your name be found in the book of the dead

I'm staring down a dirt road,
nothing for miles on either side of me.
I notice, I am alone.
Completly alone.
But alas I am not!
There is the wind,
gracefully dancing about keeping me entertained.
And the earth,
strong and sturdy, there to catch me should I fall.
Then there are all the creatures,
big and small, filled with more gossip than the trees,
always there to keep my mind at ease.
How could I forget when they were there all along.
They've always been there helping me,
when ever I need them.
Some people are just blind to those kinds of things I suppose.
To consumed in all their own loneliness to
remember whats just outside the door.
'Cause your never completly alone.

ALL THE MANY COLORS
The colors are in all of us
We can see the color in our hearts
We may feel apart but we are not
For all the colors merge like a prism of light
Ohhhh so bright
CHORUS
Rain.. Rain.. Rain on me Rainbow
rain your shower of light like a beautiful bow
I see the multi-colors shine bright
From with in.. Don't give in
To this black and white muldane world
Shine your light bright with your rain….booow
See the promise land the road leads into
Your heart we are never apart
When you climb life's trails
Climb into my heart..there
You will be safe.. be not afraid
CHORUS
When there is dark clouds..
Remember the blue ones behind it
Don't fret when the storm blows over
You have my promise in the blue sky alright
CHORUS
Love you my Jesus.. thank you for the rainbow in my heart

When words of love come to an end
Go for some sweet music my friend.
When love is gone only hope remains
Look for someone to relieve your pains.
Whenever life becomes very difficult
Try to tolerate the sorrows and insult.
When no one takes the trouble to help
Rely on Almighty and yourself.

Gods beautiful creations
Verse1
It’s another beautiful morning

And a with a single hesitation

And were Gods beautiful creations

Everyday I am amazed
By the mighty power his grace
So brothers and sisters
Children mothers and fathers
Thanks all give thanks for we are

I wandered
For so many nights
I was lost, alone;
I couldn’t find my way back home.
But now
Suddenly I’m found
The skies have parted and I can finally see
There's silver in the darkest cloud I'm under.
Darkness almost took me,
Swallowed up my hope
Shadows drifted overhead,
A sullen shade of red
But I’m stronger than the night
Everything will be all right
If I smile through the pain
Even though hope is a free bird
Mine won’t fly away from me
I’ve learned
To never question fate
God knows what He’s doing
Each season has its time.
And now
I want to live my life;
Journey through the forest, walk through the fire
Until I find celestial shores
Darkness will not take me
Nor swallow up my hope
Light replaces shadow,
Shining ever bright
And I’m stronger than the night
Everything will be all right
If I’m smiling through the pain
Even though hope is a free bird,
Mine won’t fly away from me

I'm leaving town and I wont look back I need a break from here and that's a
fact, this dusty road may take me there or any where I just don't care.I'm breaking
free from the ball and chain of this cold old town worth a crying shame it's been
so long since I seen day another lonely night I just wont stay. I pack my things in
a broken knapsack I'm ready to go simple as that, I'm so excited let me tell you
about. Are you going my way because I need a ride.

Take down all that you are wearing.
By that I dont mean your clothes.
By that I do mean all that you are baring.
I'll run with you,but will you run with me.
If I wait for you I hope it's not to long.
I hope to find you before the light is gone.
Take back all our disaray.
We'll go back to the fields where we used to play.
And I'll run with you,you're such a lovely being.
Take me down.
Summer weighs heavy down upon me.
I can still feel the sweat pouring down me.
I can still taste your lips so beautiful.
But I wonder how they are ever going to find me.
And I dance with you,but will you dance with me.
Take,take,take me down
If I wait for you I hope its not to long.
But I hope to find you before you before this life is gone.
Take back all of our disaray.
And we'll go back to the fields where we use to play.
And I'll wait for you,
you're such a wonderful being.

There's a country girl,
Down south I know,
And she writes some
Incredible music,
I'm tellin' you so...
I'm a NYC musician,
Been at it for a while,
Played many a gig,
But never with the style,
Of this gal I know
This Alabama darling
With talent I adore,
I could listen for hours,
And keep asking for more...
I'm an R & B man,
And play that classic rock,
But when I heard her song,
I almost went into shock...
Now, I can make my Hammond B3,
Growl and spit and hiss..
I can improvise as good,
As many think is bliss...
But this country Christy
Opened up my eyes,
Though not a country player,
I was hypnotized...
So keep your ears open,
There's a new talent here today,
And Nashville is yet,
To see their finest day!

If tomorrow never comes
Then Lord I hope this day is good
I'm just an okie from Muskogee
Carrying your love with me
I go walkin' after midnight
From a thousand miles from nowhere
Silver medals and sweet memories
Of what might have been
All is fair in love and war
And who needs pictures
Take this job and shove it
And this dirt road too
If we make it through December
I'll go on lovin' you
For this is however feels
My woman my woman my wife
After the fire is gone
Please make the world go away
I'd march from here to eternity
With sixteen tons strapped to my side
For the ships that don't come in
It must be killing time again
Thank God I'm American Made
And not a moment to soon
So darlin' give me one more day
For it's a great day to be alive
For I'm thankful for my home's in Alabama
And Please God bless the U.S.A
Trying a new song again LOL
Bring Our Troops Home !

O Muhammad mercy of the universe
We are your followers so please look at us.
If you were not created God would create nothing
I have a few things to give you but this song I sing.
If you did not reveal the Truth
Our afterlife would not be smooth.
If you were not our guide we would surely go astray
We want you beside us on the awful Judgment Day.

someday I'm going to leave this place
going to say all of my Godly good grace
for I know I'm going to a better place
Cause God don't want me here forever
Going to say goodbye to some good friends
kiss and hug my child till the very end
say I love you to Mom and Dad once again
Cause God don't want me here forever
Say I'm sorry for all I've done
Still go out and have some great fun
keep reaching for that burning sun
Cause God don't want me here forever
Going to lay in a garden of lace
where the sun shines upon my face
pluck a flower and put it to taste
Cause God don't want me here forever
Going to spread a little love
To the man up above
going to wait for his white doves
Cause God don't want me here forever

He came in my life when there were things I didn't understand
He walked beside me and stretched out His hand
I took it gratefully and thanked God above
That He sent us His only Son to show us true love
He gave His all for you; So give your all to Him
He bled and died for you; So you have to live for Him
There is nothing that could ever take my hand from His
I'll love Him forever, and this is how I'll live
Jesus is my Saviour, I hope He's yours too
But if He's not..well.. I'll pray for you
He gave His all for you; So give your all to Him
He bled and died for you; So you have to live for Him
Cause in a moment in a twinkling of an eye
Jesus will come and carry us home to our mansion in the sky
but in order to receive
first you got to believe that...
He gave His all for you;So give your all to Him
He bled and died for you; So you need to live for Him

Time has shown me, how special you are
My devotion to you is more than you can stand
Sometimes I question if you’re too good to be my man
Although I know I earned you honestly
I feel I’m not good enough for you, but you’re perfect to me
Chorus
Everything I need is in you
Waiting for me to let it out
I want for nothing because of you
Our love fulfilled my drought
Your touch is like none other
It sends chills down my spine
Wanting you more and more
It’s been a very long while
But those brown eyes call to me
Whispering, B-jay & hesitantly I’m reminded
You’re perfect to me
Chorus
Everything I need is in you
Waiting for me to let it out
I want for nothing because of you
Our love fulfilled my drought
I don’t know, I can’t explain exactly what it is
To some it up into words, couldn’t say what I feel
But if I must put it into words I’d say
I never saw it coming, and that you’re perfect to me
Bridge
I’ll always be here
No matter what’s going on
Depend on the unknown
I’ll Stand alone
For you, I believe in
As for as my eyes can see
I don’t know what else to say but
You’re perfect to me

O Lord, to you, I come today;
Fruits of my lips, I bring;
Hymns of praises, to you, I sing;
In lonely tears, I pray.
Yet worthy not I am, I ask
Have mercy on my soul;
Lord, despise not my every call;
‘Tis life, to you, I trust.
O Lord, to you, I come today;
Keep me, from vanity;
For in peace, where I longed to be;
In lonely tears, I pray.

Faces turn pale because of the moonlight.
My cheeks and lips are too hot.
I am a Queen of mermaids, this night of May!
I dance and collect
the stars from the sky for my crown.
Come to me!
I shall give a piece of happiness
To all who are lonely.
But you must be cautious –
I am a mermaid!
I shall bewitch you!

Chorus: (2x) Boy I'm telling you/ that your time here/ is up so you gotta go/ I don't
wanna see you no mo'/
Verse1: Pack up all your shh/ and make sure you get all of it/ and get out my f'ing
house/ you should of thought about your actions now you gotta bounce/ now you

know/ guys like you are real f' ed up/

VI. I can be in this world with out fortune or fame. I can be in this world with out a
fancy car. But I can’t be without the One who’s name is Jesus.
VII. He died for me on Calvary. He paid my cost I could not pay, crucified on Calvary.
VIII. I don’t need fortune, I don’t need fame. I was to blame but He took my place.
VIV. I can be in this world not being afraid. I can be in this world and never looking
down. I can be in this world and being thankful ‘cause Jesus is alive and well.

VI. When you’re in a fight, you know you can’t win, just call on Jesus, and He will step
in. The devil will try to lie to you. When Jesus steps in, he lost the war.
CH. When Jesus steps in, He’ll conquer all. Hell move a mountain if it’s too tall. He’ll
make you big when you think you’re small when Jesus steps in satan will fall.
VII. I know you can’t win for losin’, but my God is always on the throne. Jesus is at
the right hand when Jesus steps in, you’ve all ready won.

Let's throw some junk on a wall
And call it art.
Let's act like we don't think miles
A part.
Let's say that we ain't losin' nothin'
Lookin for somethin'.
I don't wanna be alone no more.
You know how this life
Is such a bore.
And I think two wrongs can make it
All right
Tonight;
Let's play pretend.
I bet if we fake it
We'll make it
Yiou be a different boy
I'll be a different girl
We'll live in a different world
Together, 'til the end.
Let's play pretend.
I'd say
The real world's getting old
(Pretty damn fast, too)
we got nothing to crash into--
Except each other.
Let's ditch all the good advice.
Let's keep it real.
Does that sound right?
We've got make-believe dreams to mend.
Let's play pretend...
Let's throw some junk on a wall and call it art.
Let's say that you hold the key to my heart.
How 'bout we say there's something there
When there isn't...
My friend,
Let's play pretend.

A man who felt that when he walk out the door
he walk alone and in the dark
inducing him to subject himself to something
that left him null and void
medicating his feelings
stealing his joy
traveling the road of that stuff called boy
rising above adversities
this beloved entertainer was able to see the light
he belted out an old sweet song
with all his might
Georgia forever on his mind
he shared the wealth
from a heart that was loving caring and kind
In March he received an apology
from the state that banned him
Ray was welcomed back to them
his family by his side
he was not alone
Georgia was on his mind
as he sang
an old sweet song

The angels are in the sky today
Verse1
The angels are in the sky today
Holding me forever in their loving embrace
Keep my heart body and soul safe
Yes the angels give me the strength
To take life as it comes day
By day through both joy and pain
The sweetest miracles that god ever made
Filling my life with happiness and total love
Chorus
The angels are in the sky today
They bring such a smile of joy to my face
And I know that I’ll always
Be safe guiding by his ever lasting love
The sky has never been a deeper blue
Or has the sun eve been so golden but with the power of faith
Loving in the power of the fathers embrace
Everyday seems like a brand new day
Verse2
The angels are in the sky today
The angels watching over us from way up
In sweet heaven above
There gods special gift of love
To each and everyone of us
So if you worried about the feature to come
Let your faith in the lord above
Be your saving grace

Return to my head
This wonderful thought
Can now safely shed
This mask that hell brought
To cover up content feelings
That were shrouded in the dark
But now that mask, off, now on the brink
Of making and pronouncing on “comeback remark”
Within a blaze of glory
Comes an instant tale
Of an enchanted story
That will never fail
To tell the truth of being...
That being the clear seeing
That the dark cloud that shrouded love
Has gone away peacefully, like a dove
Comes to this now
The question of “How…”
“How long will this last?”
Will it go back like it was in the past,
Or will there be a new future
That will not be butchered
By the deceptions of jealously and envy
Within that blaze of glory?

VI. A Sinner at the altar, praying to the Lord. He’s done a lot of things that he’s not
proud for. But a light came down from Heaven shining on him, a sinner was saved on that
day.
CH. Jesus would leave ninety nine, to save one sheep who was lost. Born again, a
brand new man, a sinner was saved on that day.
VII. Now he lives peacefully. He’s free at last from his past. The wasted years, he
never looked back, ‘cause now he walks and talks with God.
(tag) Yes I was saved on that day

No bad should be there
So the world will be light
No wrong should be there
So the world will be all right
No con should be there
So the world will be a sprite
No swindles should be there
So the world will be a delight
No sin should be there
So the world will be bright
No hatred should be there
So the world will never fight
No scandal should be there
So the world will be polite
No conflict should be there
So the world may unite

I wasn't looking for it,
it just kind of found me.
I guess I needed it more than I thought.
You were there and it felt so right,
I just wanted to be held tight.
So don't blame me for falling,
and don't wonder why.
It just happened,
I love you.

Off the road again
Just our ATV's
And some good friends
Hitting the trails
And winding bends
Starting and Making
Some new and different trends
On our ATV's once again
Cleaning the mud and gunk
From our teeth that just blends
With our armor that continues to defend
The king of off road that just wants to send
A here's mud in your eye to all
My good buddies and friends
Tribute To ATV's
Here's Mud In Your Eye LOL
Love Kathy & Jenny
Maybe Next Song Too

I look at you as you stand in my life
Just the sight of you, eliminates all my strife
You just stand there, shining like a blinding light
Even when you’re discriminated, you stand strong, finding might
Don’t know how you do it, guide all these people
Tell them wrong from right, that we’re all equal
I study you, trying to find what your about
You always stay true, nothing false comes from your mouth
Without you, my life has no kind of delight
Because you are my inspiration to write

They say, “Young girl, please don’t cry.
It will be ok if you just dry your eyes.
Write it down. Just let it out.
Tell the world what your tears are about.”
I say, “No thanks. You won’t listen to me.
These tears that keep on falling mean more than you see.
They fall because of knowledge and doubt.
I know the world doesn’t want to know what they’re about.”
They say, “Young girl, tell me what you mean.”
I say, “No thanks. You’ll just push me away.”
They say, “Young girl, don’t be scared. I’m right here.”
I say, “No thanks. These tears don’t fall due to fear.”
They say, “Young girl, please don’t cry.”
I say, “No thanks. I’ll let them fall from my eyes.”
They say, “Young girl, what’s this all about?”
I say, “I’ve learned the pain that this world dishes out.”
They say, “Young girl, you don’t understand.
You are too young. You still need someone to hold your hand.”
I say, “No thanks. I’ll walk on my own.
I’ve learned more than you, and you claim to be grown.”
They say, “Young girl, you better bite your tongue.
You are far to immature and you are far too young.”
I say, “No thanks. You can think what you want.
I’ll learn through experience and not what you taught.”
They say, “Young girl, don’t you cry.”
As I turn around and tell them all, “Goodbye.”
They say, “Young girl, where are you headed to?”
I say, “I’m off to see the world, then I’ll come back to you.”

As we pledge our allegiance to the flag
Together in gratitude, let us join in prayer,
For the millions before us who gave their lives
Defending our privilege to breathe Liberty’s air.
Oh say can you see the blessings we share
‘Neath purple mountains and spacious skies?
For our amber waves of grain grow in soil tinted red
By the blood of Patriots who laid down their lives.
My country, ‘tis of thee my heart sings
And upon whom God has shed His Grace.
My country, ‘tis to thee I pray you will always
Sing as one voice for our future children’s sake.
You’re a grand old flag; you’re our Star Spangled Banner
And I salute the virtues o’er which you are wavin’.
You fly proudly as a Beacon of Hope and assurance
For the tired and weak who flee to you for safe haven.
If tomorrow all the things were gone
For which we’ve toiled for over 200 years,
May we one day look into the face of our God
With no regrets for our efforts, blood, sweat and tears.
And, when in the course of human events
It becomes necessary to defend Liberty and Justice for all.
May we hold strong as brothers and sisters under one Father
Or together, we will most certainly fall.
God bless our leaders both here and abroad
May their souls be confirmed in self-control.
And God Bless us all with the wisdom to support the defense
Of Freedom and Democracy for all.
Our Father who art in Heaven,
I’d like to teach the world to sing,
A song that knows no language barriers
A song of love and peace and harmony.
From the mountains, to the prairies,
To the oceans, white foam,
Happy Birthday, dear America,
You are my home, sweet home.

Pain is weakness leaving the body,
Bleeding through the skin
Pain is a knife,
constantly twisting into your side
Pain is a teardrop,
Crashing to the floor
Pain is the anger,
That breaks through the bars
Pain is persistent,
getting under the skin
Pain is the screaming,
No one cares to listen to
Pain is the screeching,
You can't stand to hear
Pain is everyone's worst fear,
But pain only makes you stronger

I Have a dream, his words echoed round the world
that one day every little boy and every little girl
would walk together hand in hand
As brothers and sisters in a colourless land
A dream that one day this proud nation
Would finally eradicate segrigation
that no one will be judged by the colour of their skin
instead on the chracter that lies within
Let freedom Ring from stone mountain in georgia
Ring from the peaks of california
Ring from the land of the pilgrims pride
Ring from every hill and every mountainside
A dream that the state of mississippi
Will one day understand the true equality
and live and work for the greater good
and treat each other like we know we should
A dream that we stand side by side
Hold on to our dignity and cultural pride
and walk together to a positive end
I have a dream today my friend
Let freedom Ring from stone mountain in georgia
Ring from the peaks of california
Ring from the land of the pilgrims pride
Ring from every hill and mountainside

Someday I'll be more of the man I want to be
Someday I'll finally spread my wings and fly free
I guess with all that has happened in the past
Brings the future here and the present goes by fast
If everyone knew the truth about my situation
They could trade words and absorb my disposition
Behind closed doors, and underneath my pain
Lies my chance for fortune and fame
I'll always be myself and change for no one
Because if you listen to me, what's said is done
Love, hate, pain, and tragedy, whatever they lack
Don't think I won't stand my ground and attack
So when you say something and I put you on the floor
My hate and pain will just build towards you, more and more...

So many people you see on the street
Are walking heads down with their eyes at their feet,
You tell from how they move they’ve let it die.
You see an old friend and you ask him “What’s new?”
--He changes the topic to talk about you,
He hates to let you see his dream went by.
Everyone says, “Son, you’re wasting your life,
The years come down like a rusty knife
And cut the heart from out of your fantasy.”
It’s damned good advice but the kind you ignore,
You smile and you’re keeping right on like before,
That golden dream is your reality.
Don’t let your dreams get away from you,
There’s nothing that’s quite as true
As a dream of your own—it’s stronger than stone,
Don’t let your dreams get away from you
There’s nothing that’s quite as true.

The world today has so much hatred
No virtues, nothing is held sacred
Everyone lives next to strangers, they never get to know
In apartments condos above or below
All of us bleed red, you are all my sisters and brothers
Dear God help us not see in color
When we see cultures, a lot of times
We tend to think only the bad in our minds
We can learn a lot from our children to accept people for who they are
Our racial tensions should be put away in a shatterproof jar
Predjudices should be buried in the ground, just like our ancestors next to one
another
We have got to stop seeing each other in color
Never mind the stranger on the bus sitting next to you
If that person suddenly collapsed, what would you do
If you take the time to say hello, get to know him or her
Life should not be lived in a cold uncaring blur
Love for our fellow humans should not be kept under cover
Let's all strip away the color

If you feel it in your bones to yell,
then let a mighty roar bellow from the inside.
If it flows through your blood to hurt,
then brin a unforgiving pain to all who cower.
And if time allows for you to cheat,
unfaily take what you feel you desearve.
But remember, and change.
Take a second look, and learn.
And realize that although you do what you will,
you'd better take time to brace.
If the mood fits you can think up a bomb
to blow everyone away,
to deplete loved ones,
to wreak havoc on the land.
And if you have it in you
you can lie to the masses,
after all, life isn't important,
and the truth is a lie to, right?
But remember, and change.
Take a second look, and learn.
And realize that although you do what you will,
you'd better take time to brace.

They say, “Young girl, don’t cry.
It’ll be ok if you just dry your eyes.
Write it down. Just let it out.
Tell the world what your tears are all about.”
I say, “No thanks. I’m fine.
I’ll be ok later. Just let me cry.
Let my tears wash this away.
I’m not ready to express my pain.”
They say, “Young girl, hold your tongue.
You’ll understand it all after it is done.
But as of now, you don’t understand.
You shouldn’t speak about that which you don’t comprehend.”
I say, “No thanks. You’ve got me wrong.
I understand more than words to my favorite song.
I see the tears streaming down your face,
And I understand because I’m in that place.”
They say, “Young girl, here’s a pen and pad.
Write down what we say so you will understand.
I know you have ideas of the things you see.
But the reasons behind them aren’t always as they seem.”
I say, “No thanks. I’ll learn on my own.
I don’t need the help of someone already grown.
I’ve got to learn these things alone.
Just like you once learned the same things on your own.”
They say, “Young girl, please listen to me.
You can’t simply say it and expect it to be.
There are problems you’ll face that are greater than you.
And when they come up, what are you going to do?”
I say, “No thanks. I’ll experience things.
I know that if I say it, it won’t always be.
But I know that inside of me
Lies the power to face anything.”
They say, “Young girl, stay where you are.
Through experience alone you won’t go very far.
Some things are bigger than you should face.
What will you do when you find yourself in that place?”
I say, “No thanks. I know more than you think.
The things of the world aren’t greater than what is in me.
You see, within me lies belief and strength.
Those are all I need to get through any place.”

Revolves and rotates in the constant motion of it
The occurrence of day and night through it
For the earth shows the sun’s sight
And shows the moon’s at night
And carries a variety of things
The animals and the human beings
The most exclusive minerals
For the earth turns them to plurals
For the miracle that earth brings
As it also changes the state of the things
Well, the earth consists of a number of things indeed
And to use these things, an effort is all you need
For everything there is a reason
The purpose of the creation
Even a smallest thing could never be made by itself
Then the earth also could never be made by itself
Because of the things that earth posses
It is obviously not a self-process
Rightly so, there is a power behind everything else
And this power is the Almighty and nothing else

Taken by your smile
Held by the night
In your arms i gaze for a while
and hold you in my sight
there amongst stars
one that shines bright
Chasing clouds among the rain
tears from heaven
release my pain
i follow your heart
to the ends of the world
chase your dreams
just to be your girl
Come to me with you tears
and i wil cry for you
a thousand stars will fall
thats true
everywhere you will go
i will follow
show me your dreams
and ill keep them safe
hold them in my heart thats true
here i hold a place just for you.
Tears from heaven
fall then i miss you
All i want is to hold you
and kiss you
Stop my tears from falling
when your smiling
catch my dreams in your pocket
and keep them from fading
My tears subsiding
Come away with me
tonight,
together through dark skies
chase the stormy weather
we'll fly
hold on till the dawn
Watch The burning fire rise
in the early morn.
Tears from heaven whisper
Angels sing among the clouds
Tell me a story of you
Catch my soul in a moment
Time stands still
Stars break free from the broken sky
at night
Angels hear me cry
Lift me to your light
Whisper to me your everlasting dreams
and i'll send them on angel wings.

Mt little girl who had no clue
lately when I look at you
My heart wonders
If your love holds true
Your stares at other guys passing by
In their Lexus BMW's and Limo rides
Can't you see I love you
For theres no other
I swear this is true
For my heart only belongs to you
My little girl
Who had no clue
Come here girl
Let me hold you
Like I used to do
Let me wisper in those ears
I love only you
Don't push me away
For my heart will be blue
My little girl
Who had no clue
I'm begging and pleaing
For I know theres
No other like you
Come take my hand
And let's say I do
My little girl
Who had no clue
Another song working on
Let Me know what ya think

The presence of a giant in a frame so small
Heart of a warrior standing tall
The soul of an angel with the touch of a child
She walks so proud on the longest mile
She won’t give up, it’s a fight to the end
May have lost the battle, but won the right to ascend
And after she’s gone when there’s no more pain
The memory of her touch will remain
A True Warrior with unshakeable faith
The battle that she fought would make most runaway
A True Warrior, A Gentle giant inside
Dealing with a monster, she kept her dignity and pride
The hour draws close, her time is at hand
As she prepares her journey to a promised land
The peace that awaits and calls to her soul
Has her name etched in light on a heavenly scroll
Her battle’s nearly done and her war draws to a close
To face this monster is a path she freely chose
But look up in the sky pretty soon you’ll see a light
As she’s held in the arms of an angel tonight

I love seeing your face
you take my breath away
I long for your love
youre an angel from above
honestly, im that girl
that will make yo life complete
if you need a shoulder to lean on
you can call on me
youre the guy of my dreams
I thought you didnt exist
my eternal fight for love
my prince charming
thats my final wish
as my dream become a reality
I realize its true
the guy of my dreams
baby boy its you
as long as you love me
i'll be your lover and bestfriend
your naughty stripper at night,
and your lady in the day,
your mistress on the side,
anyplace, any day
i'll bring joy to your life
and run your fears away
i'll be your companion,
each and everyday
as long as you love me
i'll be here for you
forever I, forever I will
always love you

Lost in my life
everything is a myestery
i can not describe
what is happening in history
for life is not pain
going insane
when people have life
then the time perscribes a wife
when world comes to an end
then everything goes stright down the drain
so time is just a bend
for all the soul of the experments of the lain
for everyone trys
and everyone dies
when time just slows down
then i hit the ground
for everwhere i go
i just went really want to show
and things will not pass
as i go now in the grass

there is a child born in Bethlehem
a gift for all to come see
for the Angels from the realms of Glory
have worked a great and mighty wonder for thee
as lately we watched as with gladness men of old
all through the night
as all my heart this night rejoices
for a baby just like you
this is a day a day of Glory
as we celebrate the birthday of a king
for the Angels we have heard on high
are the Angels watching over me

My last goodbye
Wrapped inside a melody
I hope my words
Gave you eyes to see
This is my swan song
Nothing left to share
Hope my words inspire you
Hope that you care
Did you memorize every lyric?
Did you learn all the riffs?
One last song to say goodbye
This is my final gift
Don't ever forget who you are
And the things important to you
Life's too short not to sing-along
To this my swan song

There ain't nothing too hard for God
He made the heaven and he made the earth
He did it all by sending forth His Word
Now all creation sing His worth
Til everyone in this whole world has heard
There ain't nothing too hard for God
He came to save and heal all of the earth
He did it all by sending forth His Word
Now all creation sing His worth
Til everyone in this whole world has heard
There ain't nothing too hard for God
He'll make a new heaven and new earth
He'll do it all by sending forth His Word
Now all creation sing His worth
Til everyone in this whole world has heard
There ain't nothing too hard for God

When you reach for what you long for does it quickly slip your fingers
Like the days that pass discretely through the shadows of the years?
When you find you're just another person
Kneeling at the alter of a need that never falters, does it bring you down to tears?
When you realize you're running on your own
When you find that you've been fighting all alone
When the slightest slip can cut you to the bone
Then you know that it's time to make a change
When the days turn into weeks turn into months turn into years
And every time you've tried to be yourself been nothing you could grasp
When the past and future haunt you and your passing friends they taunt you
All those dreams that never wanted you, can you put them down at last?
Losing witnesses before your trial comes
Losing face before you tuck your tail and run
Blinded by your distant setting sun
Then you know that it's time to make a change
Your expectations didn't turn out like you'd planned
But then you knew that long ago
You always thought you'd be a different kind of man
But life is what happens when you're making other plans
So you reach for what you long for but it quickly slip your fingers
And there's nothing you can do but watch it finally fade away
Lay the blame just like before on everybody else's door
Or take a road less traveled, live to die another day
Cause you know you've been running far too long
And every fight was yours and yours alone
So when you feel that fear deep in your bones
Then you know that it's time.

When we all get to Heaven
You may see me walkin'
Here there everywhere
For I'm just a blue ridge mountain boy
thumbing for a ride down a lonely banjo road
With old Joe Clark livin just' two doors down from me
Leaning on the everlasting arms
Of his sweet Tennessee Rose gal
If teardrops were pennies
I could buy two more bottles of wine
So please Mr. Sandman
I'm crying my heart out over you
For this is all I can do
As I pick these bluegrass banjo blues
From my Tennessee Mountain home roads
That I once knew
Just A Bluegrass song
working on LOL

My dear passer-by,
Do not hurry, please!
It will be, as in old times:
all will fall asleep, even the wind,
the merry fellow and deceiver,
and the eternal lamplighter
will silently turn on his magical lantern.
Transparent, lilac light will spread around,
You will hear footfall of invisible horses,
Say «Excuse me!»
if someone awakens to
sighs, whispers.
You will whirl in your happy, colored dreams,
and the organ-grinder will play
the forgotten love song.
The eternal Lamplighter will turn on
a fairy tale for you
in the first evening of spring.

When Christ, who is our Life, shall appear
We'll be caught up~! To meet Him in the air
And our glory hid in God with Jesus Christ
Shall be revealed when we appear
With Him in Eternal Life (Chorus)
Some people say they got the life
And they think they have a better way
But the truth about their lusts and pride
Is with the using they all pass away
[Bridge]
Yet they think it's strange that we don't run
To do the same excess they consider fun
And when ridiculed for the sake of His Name
Compared to Glory, it's nothing- take the shame
(Chorus)
The world tells us to get a life
And that we live a narrow-minded way
But the truth we know will cause such strife
Because they're blind & deaf to what we say
[BridgeII]
But the Gospel won't be hid or overcome
For then it would be concealed from the lost ones
But if we suffer insults for the name of Christ
Remember in Him are all the meanings of Life
(Chorus)
{Channel}
And when the sign of the Son appears in the sky
Then all the nations of the earth will begin to cry
For they will see Him come with power and glory from above
And see us in the clouds with Him they've spoken evil of
[Bridge]
When Christ, who is our Life, shall appear
We'll be caught up~! To meet Him in the air
And our glory hid in God with Jesus Christ
Shall be revealed when we appear
With Him in Eternal Life (Chorus)

Oh Lord, have mercy on this poor lost soul,
my life is a story, that needs to be told...
Lost, and forgotten, in a cell so dark,
nothing was worth telling, I had such a hardened heart...
Loved ones have passed, from this old place,
leaving me to ask why, and hate...
You gave me comfort, as you restored my Faith,
showing me real love, and it's never to late...
A field so barren, no crops did I sow,
but that was yesterday, seems so long ago....
Tears of regret, no longer do I cry,
Heaven is waiting for me, when I die...
Oh Lord have mercy on this old soul,
your life is a story, that needs to be told...
(A song in progress)

smooth fashion eyes flashing
girls wanting love passion
guitar talking fingers walking
such a cutie
glad I'm his beauty
center stage screaming rage
girls dancing in nearby cage
ya
Let's give it up
Let's give it up
hold me closer now
I can hardly breath
Let's give it up
Let's give it up
for the one
the only one
my sweet buttercup

my sweet buttercup
my sweet buttercup
my sweet buttercup
my sweet buttercup
illuminating eyes
makes me sigh
other girls shouting
even some pouting
so glad I'm at his outing
For I'm so into him
Let's give it up
Let's give it up
hold me closer now
I can hardly breath
Let's give it up
Let's give it up
for the one
the only one
my sweet buttercup
my sweet buttercup
my sweet buttercup
my sweet buttercup
my sweet buttercup
my sweet buttercup
New Song In Head LOL
Tribute To Love

Am I what I say I am,
When I try to win that woman?
When you try to win that man-?
Am I what I say I am?
They'll be won the conversation
Of the hid-den man. (Chorus)
The hidden man's of the heart
When you're searching that's where you start
Don't just look at the physical appearance
Beauty is vain and could serve as a hind'rance...
Love at first sight isn't always smart
With time and patience real love imparts...
A since of security, they're friends indeed
Learning to be sensitive to each other's need...
(Excerpt from a rap I wrote in 1993)

Come on come on everybody bounce bounce bounce with me
I am a hot stepper can't nobody hold me down so set me free
Everbody Jam Jam upon sugar hill
let your step be on a maximun overdrive skill
Quit Quit crying in the rain
Po folks downing purpil pills with cheap champagne
Seen my girl on T.V
looking starry eyed and a little dizzy dizzy
Come on Come on let's keep it up
let the whole world keep filling our cup
Rumble rumble in the jungle
let this magic wand not let you stumble
This ghetto love got to get it
Westside Eastside let's see it fit
For your going to fly now
like a sweet escape electric salsa fowl
No more football on T.V.
hit the streets a dance you shall see
Got to get one more time
try and keep up with this rhythm and rhyme
Hate it or love it I'm going to be alright
just stay with me just one more night
If ya getting down
I'll be there to wipe that frown
Don't cry tonight
Mr. Wendle luv you better with your runaway fiddle
So here we go once again
dancing and grooving
to a life on the streets spin

I have found
The Lover of My Soul
His name is Jesus, Jesus, Jesus
Oh Jesus- Jesus loves my soul
I have found
The One who makes me whole
His name is Jesus, Jesus, Jesus
Oh Jesus- Jesus makes me whole
I have found
The Lord is in control
His name is Jesus, Jesus, Jesus
Oh Jesus- Jesus take full control
I have found
The Lover of My Soul
His name is Jesus, Jesus, Jesus
Oh Jesus- Jesus loves my soul

As I overlooked an orchard
From my window up above
I send to you a room full of roses
For I'm a fool for your love
So darlin won't ya stand by me
And let's get lost in paradise tonight
Put your dreams away
And there shall be no more lonely nights
Come stroll with me under the neon city lights
For that's all that matters
In a true love ways
Lord every waking hour
She's pulling me back again
For a headache tomorrow or a headache tonight
Come on and just bring it on home to me
For love you don't know me
And don't all the girls get prettier
at closing time tonight
Tribute To Mickey Gilley
And another song working on LOL

O Lord You're my Shepherd
I shall lack no good thing
You make me to lie down
In pastures of green
Beside the still waters
Is how You lead me
In paths of righteousness
Is where You guide me
For the sake of Your Holy Name
You restore my soul the same
O Lord You're my Shepherd
And I will fear no evil
Even though I walk through shadows
Of the darkest valley
For You are with me
You're my Saviour and my God
And You comfort me
With Your staff and rod
For the sake of Your Holy Name
You restore my soul the same
O Lord You're my Shepherd
You prepare a table before me
A feast in the presence
Of my enemies
You anoint my head with oil
My cup overflows
All the days of my life
Goodness and love shall follow
For the sake of Your Holy Name
You restore my soul the same
And I will dwell in your house
I will dwell in your house
I will dwell in the house of the Lord forever

Morning arrives instead of night.
Maybe, it indeed is «the Happy ending»?
But the rain speaks about something, so tight,
And I regret, I cannot understand.
I shall take the dictionary of different senses, and
I will try to translate your story,
I’ll echo your own opinion to make you glad.
But you continue to cry – I am sorry.
My sweet brother, my lonely rain!
I run to you throughout the night.
We will speak together again,
and our friendship will give light:
instead of tears – only laughter.
We are the poets, the masters of word!
There is poetry in our life –
We able to sing the songs for all the world!

He dares to be unique,
Standing out from the conventional crowd,
Breaking the fashioned pattern-
Of all typical rappers of today’s age;
He dares to reveal his beliefs
He taunts all that conform with his lyrics;
Knowing the imperfections of the world
But it is more that he-
Verbalizes them and the importance of improvement,
He preaches his words-
Through the wire.

We will have no other gods before you
We will worship you alone, adore you
For you're a jealous God
And we love you Lord
So we obey and give our selves to be yours
We won't take your name, O God, in vain
But our purpose is to praise and proclaim
And the Sabbath Day
We'll keep it holy
We'll assemble ourselves with your saints
We will honor our mother and father
So we will live long and our lives will prosper
We will not kill
We will not steal
And we will not commit adultery
We won't tell a lie against our neighbors
We won't sow discord among our laborers
Because we love them
We will not covet
The things that you have freely given to us
And these are written in our hearts
Not on tables of stones
Through the Spirit of the Lord
When he refreshes these dry bones
He shows mercy to the children
Yes, to thousands of them
Those who love God above all else
Are those who will obey Him
And we will obey Him, we will obey Him, we will obey Him
Because we love Him, we will obey Him
We will love God above all

Scolded,
For my music,
The music that makes up,
My whole existence,
The music that defines me.
If I never had these notes in my head.
I would never be me.
I might not even exist.
These tunes have gotten me through it,
Through all of it.
How can you tell me not to play these notes?
These notes in my head.
They soothe the pain that exists,
Within my deepest confines.

In a favored local "watering hole"
On a Valentine's Day years ago,
Rosie and I went,
To see a small venue show
Tiny Tim of "TipToe Thru the Tulips" fame,
With a piano player,
With an opening comic's act,
Tiny's hair a tad grayer
Than his numerous appearances
With Johnny Carson
He'd survived many jeerances
His vibrato falsetto filled the room,
His songs of ages long gone,
I was surprised how good he really was,
Singing those songs anon
After his show he greeted all,
He was truely a sweet man,
I'd gone almost as a goof,
I was "far too cool" for this,
And now I'm glad I did go,
Would have been a pity for us to miss
This man, heart of gold,
From heights fallen hard,
"Miss Vicky" and a fickle crowd,
Made him play his last poor card
He's gone now, but if you know,
His wedding to "MIss Vicky"
On an old "Tonight Show"
Was one of the highest ratings
Winners, of old time
So this man who made
this ratings "win",
Died a broken man,
My God, what a sin.

No more simplicity, nothing more to see,
all I wanted, has no meaning,
I no longer, want to search, for things that I can see,
I no longer, have desire, to be what I want to be,
All that's needed, now is Jesus, I've no worry, for He's here,
He's very, very near, in my heart I know H'es here.
Chorus: I can lean upon His word, never doubt His faithful hand;
Reaching for me always, I can reach for Him.
I don't have an empty void, nothing now to fill,
I have a wondrous God, a saviour and a friend.
He's everything I need, He's everything I want,
Longing now for His embrace, nothing less but so much more.
So much to tell, so much to say, so much to share;
what's in my heart, Jesus saves, He really saves!
Chorus: I can lean upon His word, never doubt His faithful hand;
reaching for me always, I can reach for Him.
What do I offer you?, but Christ and His love,
Christ and His power, salvation and faith;
Trust in Him fully, you'll never regret.
Change will be given, you'll know just where it's from,
no man can tell you, no expressions to use,
no vocabulary to find, the words come from The Lord.
chorus: I can lean upon His word, never doubt His faithful hand,
reaching for me always, I can reach for Him.

This world of today is dangerous,
It's filled with hatred, hostility and sin
Children running around getting pregnant
And it's starting at age ten
Parents have lost control
And it's evident today
We are all lost for words
And there's nothing we can say
There is always some rapper
Rapping to some beats
Influencing crime, violence, and sex
Which is prevalent on the streets
Knives, guns and blades
Are everywhere you look
Think of how many lives
These useless weapons took
Then there's the drugs
The cocaine and the weed
Children are frying their brain cells
Instead of taking the lead
Not to mention the alcohol
That has everyone messed up
Its taking many lives
Coming as a suction cup
Children rising against their parents
And even against their peers
Domestic Violence surrounds us
And has been evident for years
Aren't you tired of society
And what it brings to civilization
Living in this obscene world
Is ruining the Earth's reputation
We all need to lend a hand
And get a good education
And if we do this
then we will rise as a nation

come here little girl, let me learn you a thing or two
livin' in the hood is a very hard thing to do
you gotta know the rules, how to move, never have a clue
never let'em know how you move, keep it true
true to yourself, to your square, where you at girl
respect yourself in any hood, hood respect girl
kept a lot of girls from geetin' raped where i'm at girl
when the devil play, it's no game, he attack girl
one girl mad cause her man want your phone number

chicks get jealous so they plottin' on your every move
what should you do? you by yourself and without a crew
rule number 2 keep some mase or some pepper spray
rule number 1 is keep a gun but she played it safe
she massed her in the face and showed her what suppose to taste like
the girl pulled out a knife and cut her stomach by the waistline
know she on the floor cryin' with the evidence
but what she didn't know was that the pretty girl was preganat
learn somethin', learn somethin', listen little girl let me learn you a thing or two
learn somethin', learn somethin', livin' in the hood is very hard thing to do

O Lord, You are our Father
We are the clay; You are the Potter
We are the work of Your hand
So mold us and shape us
In Your perfect plan (Chorus)
In the middle of Your wheel
We're yielded and still
To be vessels of mercy
Lord You make us worthy
In Your blaze of fiery wind
Purge us free from sin
To be vessels of honor
Filled with your living water
(Chorus)
Make the broken new again
Sanctify and bring them in
To be vessels in His church
Prepared for every good work
And meet for the Master's use
Vessels bring Him forth much fruit
Prepare for His glory
Make known Your riches of glory - !
O Lord, You are our Father
We are the clay; You are the Potter
We are the work of Your hand
So mold us and shape us
In Your perfect plan (Chorus)

He's been the source of my relief
backbone of my spiritual belief
He gives me such a sense of peace
He's been my ladder when I couldn't reach
I'll use His guidance and I'll teach
I'll kneel to Him and I'll beseech
I'm everything you see because God loves me
He's been my strength when I felt weak
I hear His voice It sounds so sweet
I lift my hands to give Him praise
for giving me another day
He comforts me no matter when
I thank Him time and time again
I'm everything you see because God loves me
{refrain}
God to You I give praise
love You in every way
need You all of my days
just You show me the way
whenever darkness manifests
I turn to Him for He is blessed
He's never ever let me down
lifted me up to higher ground
I come to Him in supplication
for spiritual rejuvenation
I'm everything I am
because I love Him
and when I read the Holy Scriptures
I finally get the full gospel picture
that on His word I do believe
there's nothing I cannot achieve
He is my one and only King
for Him I'll do most anything
I'm everything I am because I love Him
{refrain}
as I go higher and higher on
to reach the Kingdom of Zion
I know that He will meet me there
no need to have any fear
I will eternally reside
in Heaven by His graceful side
I'm all that I can be, because God loves me
my prayers have finally been rejoined
and up to Heaven I rise on
now I can truly see the Light
God's Kingdom is within my sight
with Him I will forever rest
sinless and now forever blessed
I'm all that I can be because God loves me
{refrain}
and now I look upon His face
I bow to Him in all His grace
there's no place I would rather be
right here with God beside of me
there's no more searching around
with Him I truly have been found
I'm where I want to be because God loves me
I'm where I want to be because God loves me
I'm where I need to be because God loves me

Jesus died for my sins
(According to the Scriptures)
He was laid in a tomb
(According to the Scriptures)
But He rose to life again
(According to the Scriptures)
Now He's coming real soon
(According to the Scriptures) [Chorus]
Jesus died for my sins, He was laid in a tomb
But He rose to life again, now He's coming real soon
According to the Scriptures and believed by the saints
Yet if Christ be not raised then our faith is in vain
BUT! Jesus is alive and He rose from the dead
We're the Body of Christ and Christ is the head
Who's become the firstfruit of those who've slept
Afterward at His Coming, those who have been kept
From the pollution of the world, the solution is faith
Being sealed with His Spirit until we see Christ's day
When all things are subdued and the mountains will fall
The son is subject to the father, God is all and in all
Every knee will surely bow and tongue confess that
Jesus is Lord while secrets of the hearts manifest
Some on the right hand, others on the left
As he separates the wheat from the chaff with his breath
[Chorus]
It's according to the Word, now it's time for you to level
You can't drink of Jesus cup and the cup of the devil
Awake to righteousness and sin not!
And it's ashame if you don't have the knowledge of God
Watch ye, stand fast in the faith be strong
Submit yourself to Jesus flee away from all wrong
For evil companionships corrupt good manners
So stay with holy ones lifting up the Lord's banner
As Christ increases, we decrease daily dying
Maximizing with the People Of War Ever Rising
While awaiting the redemption of our bodies we're victors
And we'll go up in the Rapture according to the Scriptures
[Chorus]
{A rap I wrote while in college in celebration of Easter- I Cor. 15:3,4}

God is the One who makes something good out of nothing
Speaking light in the darkness covering the face of the deep
And the Spirit of the Lord is hovering over your waters
To give you form, fill your void and breathe you out of sleep (chorus)
In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth
And He saw all He made was very good for His intentions
But soon after the first living souls experienced birth
They chose death and now seek out wicked inventions
So Adam and Eve again lie lifeless on the ground in sin
But God raises up the dead because they must be born again
[bridge]
For we are nothing without Jesus Christ and without Him nothing we can do
But with the Greater One living within, Satan can't make 'nothing' out of you
(chorus)
In the beginning Satan wanted the heaven and the earth
He saw every good thing within it and distracted our attention
Until the Seed of the Woman crushed the devil's evil mirth
Through His death, burial, resurrection and ascension
Now the flaming sword is turning to direct us together
To reach out and take the Tree of Life, eat and live forever
[bridge]
(chorus)
[rap]
Once our world was full of darkness
Then bright and shining through came the Light
To those who receive and believe in Him
To be God's children He gave the right
And now He sees you as very good
Every man, woman, boy and girl
Because greater is He that is in you
Than he that is in this world
{bridge and chorus simultaneously}
(chorus)

O, Jesus, live in me
As ever I live in you
Always, I will be true
Hear me, O hear me
It is my humble plea
O Jesus, come to me
Today, I come to you
To offer you my soul
Heal me, O heal me
For I long, to be free
Amen

Also a song
again working on lol

O come tell me the story of Jesus on Jordan's stormy bank
Come let's us break bread together down by the old rugged cross
Lift Lift every voice and sing Joyful Joyful We adorn Thee
Let's come and crown Him with many crowns for the beauty of the earth
For the Lord is my Shepard Pass me not O gentel Saviour
Keep me leaning on the everlasting arm and take the name of Jesus with you
For He is purer and whiter than snow So let me come face to face
With my Christ my Lord amidst the lily of the valley
For I love to tell the story that there is a foundation
Since Jesus came into my heart For this is my Father's World
Which He leadeth me down the path When the morning comes
Come join just a closer walk with Thee
For the church's are our foundations Of O God our hope in ages past
Tribute To Christ Our Lord
{Amen}
Gospel Song
Working On Too LOL

{verse-1}
I got home last night at four
Found the door open wide
and when I shut and locked the door
I stumbled over something inside
As I searched for the light
I heard my baby girl say
Daddy I'm alone here tonight
Mommy lays there and won't wake up
{verse-2}
Then I felt her little arms
Squeeze tight around my leg
She said Mommy wasn't feeling good
And went to sleep there on the floor
And as the tears fell from eyes
My baby girl said, It's alright Daddy
Mommy will be up soon, I'm sure
That's when I fell to pieces
{Chorus}
Through The eyes of a child
To young to understand
Through the eyes of a child
How can I tell her Mommy's gone
{verse-3}
Then I told her Mommy went to heaven
And that God didn't need her body
She looked at me confused
And said Then Mommy's not up there
Then a hand touched my hand
And a voice said let me try
Then my baby girl turned to me
And said Daddy, I still have you
{chorus}
Through The eyes of a child
To young to understand
Through the eyes of a child
Grew up 'fast when Mommy died

I long for my home when I’m away
But I’m determined to leave anyway
So I’m going to pack my bags and leave this town
I put on my make up and wear my crown.
I miss my bed now that I’m away
Knowing that I won’t be home till Sunday
So I searched for a few pieces of stationery
For only through words I find sanctuary.
My plane will leave at seven
In that foreign land blessings are given
I really want to stay
But it’s better to go anyway.
I will surely cry now that I’m away
But I know I don’t have to leave someday
So while that sun is out I’ll make hay
I’ll do anything no matter what they say
So worry about me no more
For I am in the good graces of the future.

He stooped down
And made me
He stooped down
And raised me
He stooped down
And helped me along, along-
He stooped down
And saved me
He stooped down
And raised me
He stooped down
And helped me be strong, be strong- (Chorus)
He stooped down...

Every time I see you my heart goes from steady to fast,
Hoping to stop time so every moment with you could last.
Or better yet I wish that I could visit the past,
To prevent my broken heart from ever being in a cast.
You're the beautiful angel God sent from above,
And I'm here to talk to you about a thing called love.
See love isn't at the end of the rainbow with pots of gold and a map,
It isn't easily learned with definitions intact,
And while I can stand here and forever defend,
My case and say our love will never come to an end,
I'm no genius on it I can only pretend,
For love is an emotion I don't comprehend.
It's usually a thing between women and men,
And often times we see it fail again and again.
The things that I've been through have been expressed through this pen.
But most importantly I've been able to learn,
That being patient and standing waiting your turn,
Isn't the thing to do at all,
You've got to risk to find the one,
Who compares to none, wants to have fun,
Will always be there and will always love you a ton.
Hopefully one day I just might,
Be the one to steal your heart and send it into flight,
Because a girl like you is well worth the fight.
Your beauty is contagious just like the flu,
I can only hope my love for you will be too.

I left behind A COMFORTER, when I went to MY FATHER'S house: I went to help prepare
the MANSIONS that I told you about:
Though I'VE been gone over 2000 years, I know every thing you do: For every day of
your life, I stand right next to you:
WE, sadly, look at you today the way that We did then:
WE gave you all another chance: That's why I took your sins:
To save yourselves today, just give your souls to me:
Remember, MY child, THE THREE are ONE and that the ONE are THREE:

Lord of all
I magnify your name
Lord of all
I give you all the praise
Lord of all
I lift your name on high
and you're everything
You're everything I've got
Lord of all
I put my trust in you
Lord of all
Please show me what to do
Lord of all
I'm walking with you now
and I know you will be glorified somehow
Lord of all
I'm thanking you today
Lord of all
Please guide me along my way
Lord of all
Please rain down on me
And just help me be as Christ-like as can be

Arise, my love, and come away with me
The season for singing has come
The winter has passed and the rain's moved along
My darling, my beautiful one
See, the tender figs spiced upon the tree
The vines are fragrant with blossoms
The flowers appear, the dove voices its song
Arise now, my beautiful one (Chorus)
In the darkness of the sky
Your face is the fairest moon
Majestic as stars in flight
For my coming to you is soon
And you'll shine as the dawn of day
As clear as the sun above
And your beauty I will parade
Like the hosts with their banners of love
For you are my perfect one
How pleasing you are in my eyes
There is no flaw in you
I say unto you, my bride, Arise
(Chorus)
And the foxes, catch for us
Little foxes that spoil the vine
Its tender grapes are for our cups
But our love is better than wine
It burns like a mighty flame
Its jealousy will not yield
And rivers can't wash love away
For upon my heart you have been sealed
Undefiled, unique and choice
You overwhelm me with your eyes
You have stolen my heart
I say unto you, my bride, Arise
(Bridge)
For there are delicacies at our door
Old and new unseen to your eyes
Now from the secret place of the stairs
I say unto you, my bride, Arise
(Chorus)

I believe in luck and I believe in magic
and I'm aware of the best and the most tragic
I have a grip on truth and hold hands with honesty
although I let my imagination get to the best of me
I wish I could save the world all at once
but all those people laugh like I'm the dunce
my ideas are realistic no matter what you say
I could be president or a firefighter one day
I'm not some pretty girl wearing new shoes
I don't always get to pick and choose
I have it rough just like the rest of you
I know what you feel even if you don't think I do
Sure I'm smiling every day
and I seem like I always know just what to say
but you've got to understand that I want to hear it too
so I'm saying it for me not just for you

I saw the shadow cry on the wave of the sea.
It bled tears of golden bronze.
It voiced drowning gulls into the sunset.
When asked why, he looked to the sky
he turned and said the world that
you see is enough to make me cry..

At the edge of the wood
If only you all could
Hear me as you drive in your car
I really feel that I should
Be there... Where Hollywood
Can see me shining like a star
Because I want to sing
Momma, this joy I could bring
To the world upon the stage
So I stand here praying
While other children are playing
And running; I'm a bird in a cage
But my echo and I rejoice
Hearing the sound of my own voice
Can you hear my heart's cry?
At the edge of the wood
I am doing really good
As I sing do not pass me by
Dedicated to Helen

When Christ- who is our Life-
Shall appear-
We'll be caught up~ to meet Him
In the air-
And our glory hid with God
In Jesus Christ-
Shall be revealed
When we appear with Him
In Eternal Life (Chorus)
Some people think we need a life...

she speaks in silent whispers
of an intimate dream inside her
the secret passes between syllables
as the night descends around her
she talks into the darkness
like an old friend it awakens inside
to see her in all her beauty
and like the wind it blows her mind
she sees all the way through
as the other side opens wide
to receive her innocent gaze
and smiles with all its might
she stares into the mirror
waiting for it to reveal its truth
it retains her subtle glowing aura
and tells her the secrets of life
inviting her to fly away into infinity
she smiles and blushes so sweetly
without a word she is whisked away
into that dream she has held inside
the fantasy becomes her reality

I've got a lot of things on my mind,
But sometimes I can't find the words that rhyme and express how I feel at the
time,
And maybe it's a crime but right now I'm feeling blue
I wanted you to be mine because I thought I loved you.
You were special to me, I think I grew to adore you.
You couldve asked anything of me, I'd do everything for you.
That is until I was shocked,
With the fact that before we even talked I was blocked.
It doesn't make sense to me,
How you didnt even give me the opportunity,
So we could at least have been friends but hey what's new,
I guess that's just what the people I love tend to do.
They dissapear into the wind,
They're gone and I never see them again.
Maybe it's my emotions talking,
Maybe it's no big deal
Maybe despite this whole ordeal my love for you is still real,
But see that's the problem, I'm not sure anymore
I might just have to show the love I had for you the door.

Blessed is the man
Who does not walk in advice of the wicked
Blessed is the man
Who does not stand in the way of the sinners
Blessed is the man
Who does not sit in the seat of the scornful
Blessed is the man
And only he will stand (Chorus)
For in the law of the Lord is his delight
And in His law he meditates day and night
Therefore, he shall be - planted like a tree
By the rivers of water and his green leaf
Shall not wither, but in season he yields his fruit
And God shall prosper whatever he will do
In His righteous way hearing all God has to say
He will shine more and more unto the perfect day (because)
(Chorus)
But the wicked are not so, they're like the chaff
Blown away by the wind and that's not the half
The ungodly shall not stand in the judgment
Nor will sinners congregate with the righteous
For the way of the ungodly shall perish
But God watches over everyone who'll cherish
His righteous way and all that they hear Him say
And they will shine more and more unto the perfect day (because)
(Chorus)
Psalm 1

She was just a child in seventy-two. The man they called JESUS, she never knew.
His name, she was never supposed to say. Only to GOD, was she allowed to
pray. As she grew, her life seemed so very hard. She often wondered. Who is
this man they call our LORD? Until one day she met him face to face.
She will never forget those words He did say!
My name is JESUS! I've been with you right from the start!
I am your LORD! I love you with all of my heart!
Accept me, and I will wash away your sins!
Do this, and you will never be alone again!
She found HIM! He was what she had been searching for. Now she knew, she
would never have to walk alone anymore. For the first time in her life, she
could finally see. With JESUS by her side, she would never again be in need.
Times were still tough for her along the way. At times she didn't know if she
could make it through another day. She would fall to her knees and call out
HIS name. Then she would remember those words HE did say.
My name is JESUS! I've been with you right from the start!
I am your LORD! I love you with all of my heart!
Accept ME, and I will wash away your sins!
Do this, and you will never be alone again!
The years went by. She had a family of her own.She taught them about JESUS,
and how they would never have to walk alone.Just seek HIM first and everything
will fall into place. HE will be the light in your darkest hour.HE will show you
the way. Before she goes to sleep each and every night, she thanks the LORD
for what HE has brought to her life. She will never forget when JESUS saved
her soul on that blessed day, or for those precious words HE did say.
My name is JESUS! I've been with you right from the start!
I am you LORD! I love you with all of my heart!
Accept me, and I will wash away your sins!
Do this, and you will never be alone again!

Singing in the rain,
I hummed the words to myself,
The lyric formed just about right,
Rhyming and timing like gel,
The words fell like pieces of jigsaw,
And each did express my inner thoughts well,
I sang and sang ,
Till my inner brought the music along,
The instruments formed out of thin air,
The sounds were well formed chime and bell,
Each note completed each word of the lyric,
And completed it rather swell,
Mind was in tune and swirling fast,
Unmind of the weather,
My limbs broke into moves,
The moves that formed a structured dance with steps,
I even forgot if anybody was around and watching,
I was simply cast into a magic and spell,
Suddenly from nowhere,
I felt a rude screech,
That disturbed my music and lyric as well,
My body took a large impact,
And I was in a
